25th Cape Clyde Forces Gallipoli Helles Landed Points Steamer Ww 1


EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the River Clyde, a British steamer, beached at V Beach, one of five key landing points at Cape Helles during the Gallipoli Campaign in April 1915. The image provides a poignant glimpse into the historical events of the First World War, as thousands of British troops disembarked from the vessel to face the Turkish forces on the Gallipoli Peninsula. The Gallipoli Campaign, also known as the Dardanelles Campaign, was a major military operation launched by the Allies to secure a sea route to Russia and to knock Turkey out of the war. The campaign, which lasted from February to December 1915, resulted in heavy casualties on both sides and ultimately failed to achieve its objectives. The River Clyde, a Glasgow-built steamship, played a crucial role in the initial landings on 25th April 1915. The vessel was used to transport troops and supplies from the British fleet to the beaches of Gallipoli. The image shows the River Clyde aground at V Beach, with soldiers and equipment visible on the shoreline. The photograph is a powerful reminder of the bravery and sacrifice of the soldiers involved in the Gallipoli Campaign. It also highlights the logistical challenges faced by the Allies in attempting to land troops and supplies on the rugged and heavily defended coastline of the Gallipoli Peninsula. The historical significance of this photograph is underscored by the fact that it was taken at a pivotal moment in the campaign, as British forces struggled to gain a foothold on the peninsula and faced fierce Turkish resistance. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the soldiers who fought in the Gallipoli Campaign and the enduring impact of the conflict on world history.
