EDITORS COMMENTS
The Dardanelles with its Forts, 1919. This print captures the historical significance of the Gallipoli peninsula during the First World War. The map, created by the London Geographical Institute, showcases the Turkish coast and highlights the strategic forts and batteries that played a crucial role in this intense conflict from 1914 to 1919. The Gallipoli campaign witnessed heavy fighting and inflicted numerous casualties on both sides. As depicted in this vivid image, these formidable fortifications stood as silent witnesses to the horrors of war that unfolded along these shores. The Dardanelles strait, also known as Hellespont, served as a gateway between Europe and Asia, making it a highly contested area during this time. This remarkable print is sourced from 'The History of the Great European War: its causes and effects', Volume IV by W. Stanley Macbean Knight – an authoritative account of one of history's most devastating conflicts. Published in London by Caxton Publishing Company Limited in 1919, this visual representation offers valuable insights into geographical features and locations critical to understanding World War I. As we reflect upon this poignant photograph today, let us remember those who fought valiantly on these shores for their respective countries. It serves as a reminder of our shared history and honors all those who sacrificed their lives amidst these forts overlooking the Aegean Sea.
