Lord Kitchener praises troops for their assaults at the Dardanelles, World War I, 1915-1916. Launched in March 1915, the Allied landings on the Gallipoli peninsula were intended to establish a supply route to Russia throught the Black Sea via the Dardanelles straits. The operation was a failure, redeemed slightly by a successful evacuation of the Allied forces completed in January 1916. The 8 month campaign resulted in 140, 000 Allied casualties and damaged the career of Winston Churchill, First Lord of the Admiralty, who commissioned the operation. Stereoscopic card detail

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, Lord Kitchener can be seen praising the brave troops for their valiant assaults at the Dardanelles during World War I. The image, captured by Realistic Travels Publishers, transports us back to a significant moment in history. Launched in March 1915, the Allied landings on the Gallipoli peninsula aimed to establish a vital supply route to Russia through the Black Sea via the treacherous Dardanelles straits. However, despite their determination and courage, this operation ultimately ended in failure. The only solace was found in a successful evacuation of Allied forces completed in January 1916. The campaign lasted eight grueling months and resulted in an astonishing 140,000 casualties among Allied troops. It also dealt a blow to Winston Churchill's career as First Lord of the Admiralty since he had commissioned this ill-fated operation. In this powerful photograph, we witness Lord Kitchener congratulating his men with genuine admiration and gratitude. Their dedication and sacrifice are evident as they stand before him wearing military uniforms that bear witness to their service. The black-and-white composition adds depth and intensity to this historical moment frozen in time. It serves as a reminder of both the horrors of war and the resilience displayed by those who fought bravely on behalf of their country. This remarkable print from Realistic Travels Publishers allows us to reflect upon one chapter within World War I while honoring those who served with unwavering loyalty under challenging circumstances.
