EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a pivotal moment in the history of the Allied forces during World War 1, as they begin the arduous process of unloading supplies and equipment at the Seddulbahr Fort in the Dardanelles region of Turkey, in 1915. The Ottoman Empire, allied with the Central Powers, had fortified the area, making the Allied advance a formidable challenge. The troops, dressed in their uniforms and armed with rifles, are seen disembarking from boats and making their way up the inclined planes, which were used for the first landing of forces here. The planks and planks of the boats are visible in the foreground, while the boats themselves are anchored in the background. The Seddulbahr Fort, with its imposing walls and towers, looms in the distance. This historical image is a testament to the bravery and determination of the Allied forces during the Gallipoli Campaign, a significant stage in the Great War. The unloading process was a crucial step towards securing a foothold in the Dardanelles, which would ultimately prove to be a costly and unsuccessful endeavor for the Allies. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the past, providing a visual record of a pivotal moment in world history.
