EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative aerial photograph captures the rugged terrain of Gallipoli, Turkey, as it appeared during the First World War in 1915. Taken from the vantage point of an Allied aeroplane operating at the Dardanelles, the image offers a bird's-eye view of the strategic peninsula that became the site of one of the most brutal and costly campaigns of the war. The undulating landscape, with its range of high hills, small mountains, and the encroaching sea, presents a formidable defensive position for the enemy forces. The intricate network of gullies and ravines, barely visible from this height, would have provided ideal cover for the Turkish troops, making their position seemingly impregnable. The aerial perspective underscores the challenges faced by the Allied forces as they attempted to navigate the treacherous terrain and dislodge the Turkish defenders. This historical photograph offers a unique glimpse into the geography of the Gallipoli Peninsula and the complexities of the military conflict that unfolded there over eight months in 1915.
