EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the scene at the Asiatic coast of the Dardanelles in July 1915, following the failed Allied attempt to force the Dardanelles Straits and land on Gallipoli, Turkey during World War I. In the foreground, the French supply ship or troop carrier, Sed Dul-Bahr (Seddulbahr or Sedd-el-Bahr, meaning "Happy Conquering" in Arabic), is moored up close to the coast. The Sed Dul-Bahr, also known as the Cheval de Troie or Trojan Horse, played a crucial role in the campaign by delivering troops and supplies to the Allied forces. In the distance, the fortified town of Koum-Kaleh can be seen, a strategic position that proved to be a formidable obstacle for the Allied forces during their landing at Gallipoli. The failed campaign, which lasted from April to December 1915, resulted in heavy casualties and marked a significant setback for the Allies in the war. The photograph provides a glimpse into the historical context of the Gallipoli Campaign, a pivotal moment in World War I that shaped the course of the war and had far-reaching consequences for the region. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the soldiers and sailors involved in the campaign and the complex geopolitical dynamics of the time.
