" Rejected by the inventions board. VII -The Gallipoli Shell-Diverter for returning the Enemys Fire" There were other theatres of war besides he Western Front, and after the disastrous landings at Gallipoli off the Dardanelles strait, the soldiers were force to dig trenches there too. Blistering heat in the summer led to disease, and dysentery killed more men than did bullets. Heath Robinson remembered the soldiers who fought at Gallipoli in his " Rejected by the Inventions Board" series, although this time his contraptions are scattering Turkish soldiers wearing fez hats, rather than Germans in their Pickelhaube helmets.

Rejected by the Inventions Board: VII - The Gallipoli Shell-Diverter for Returning the Enemies' Fire" Amidst the chaos and hardships of the First World War, the battlefields of Gallipoli off the Dardanelles strait presented a unique set of challenges for the soldiers who fought there. While the Western Front was synonymous with trench warfare and the infamous stalemate, Gallipoli was characterized by blistering heat in the summer and the deadly presence of disease, with dysentery claiming more lives than bullets. Heath Robinson, a British satirical cartoonist, paid tribute to the soldiers who endured these harsh conditions in his "Rejected by the Inventions Board" series. In this particular illustration, dated 1916, Robinson's whimsical contraptions are aimed at scattering Turkish soldiers, rather than the usual German adversaries with their Pickelhaube helmets. The scene depicts a group of soldiers, each pedaling a bicycle that is attached to a bizarre machine. The machine, in turn, is designed to deflect incoming enemy shells and return fire. The board in the foreground bears the familiar rejection stamp, signifying that this fantastical invention, much like the others in the series, was deemed impractical or unworkable by the powers that be. The absurdity of the situation is further emphasized by the Turkish soldiers wearing fez hats, adding a touch of humor and satire to the otherwise grim realities of war. Robinson's work, with its strange and silly inventions, served as a welcome distraction from the harsh realities of the war. His satirical and fantastical creations continue to captivate audiences today, offering a unique perspective on the human spirit's resilience and ingenuity in the face of adversity.
