EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the intensity and complexity of the Allied efforts to gain a foothold on the Gallipoli Peninsula during the Dardanelles Campaign of 1915. The image, taken at Seddul Bahr, depicts a 155-MM. gun being carefully towed ashore on a lighter. The heavy artillery piece, essential for the success of any offensive, had to be brought inland from the waiting ships to support the troops engaged in the brutal and protracted battle for the peninsula. The Gallipoli Peninsula, located in modern-day Turkey, was a key strategic objective for the Allies as it controlled the Dardanelles Straits, the gateway to the Black Sea and Russia. The campaign, which began in April 1915, was intended to knock Turkey out of the war and open a new front against the Central Powers. However, the Allied forces faced significant challenges, including difficult terrain, strong Turkish defenses, and the harsh conditions of the Mediterranean Sea. The method of landing heavy guns, such as the one depicted in this photograph, was a critical aspect of the Allied strategy. Lighters, small shallow-draft vessels, were used to bring the guns as close to the shore as possible, where they could then be towed or carried the rest of the way by soldiers and equipment. The process was laborious and dangerous, with the guns and their crews vulnerable to enemy fire throughout the operation. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the logistical challenges faced by the Allied forces during the Gallipoli Campaign. It serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers and sailors in the pursuit of military objectives, and the ingenuity and determination required to overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles on the battlefield.
