About This Book

A detailed contemporary account and analysis of the Allied seaborne assault on the Dardanelles and Gallipoli Peninsula during the First World War, reconstructing strategic objectives, operational planning, and the sequence of landings and engagements over eleven months. It combines battlefield description, assessments of military decisions, eyewitness observations of terrain and soldier life, and critical reflections on command and politics. Drawn from documents, personal notes, and interviews, it examines logistical difficulties, amphibious warfare challenges, and the human cost, while weighing whether alternative strategies might have changed the outcome.

Transcriber’s Notes

Punctuation, hyphenation, and spelling were made consistent when a predominant preference was found in the original book; otherwise they were not changed.

Simple typographical errors were corrected; unbalanced quotation marks were remedied when the change was obvious, and otherwise left unbalanced.

Illustrations in this eBook have been positioned between paragraphs and outside quotations. In versions of this eBook that support hyperlinks, the page references in the List of Illustrations lead to the corresponding illustrations.

Odd-page running headers are shown here as left-aligned sans-serif paragraph headings with a gray background on most ereaders. They are positioned between paragraphs and sometimes occur a little earlier than the topics to which they refer.

Footnotes, originally at the bottoms of pages, have been sequentially renumbered, collected together, and placed after the last page of text, just before the Index.

The index was not checked for proper alphabetization or correct page references. References to footnotes still refer to the pages on which those footnotes originally appeared.
