The Turkish Defeat on the Suez Canal, c1915, (1919). Creator: Unknown
The Turkish Defeat on the Suez Canal, c1915, (1919). Scene from the First World War: The Turkish attacks on the Suez Canal [in Egypt] resulted disastrously. The German-inspired scheme of crossing the Canal on pontoons laboriously dragged across the desert was a hopeless failure, and the photograph well illustrates the heavy price paid for the enterprise. The few who reached the further side of the Canal left their bones to bleach in the desert. From " The History of the Great European War: its causes and effects", Vol. IV, by W. Stanley Macbean Knight. [Caxton Pulishing Company, Limited, London, 1919]

The Turkish Defeat on the Suez Canal, c1915
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This haunting print captures a grim scene from the First World War: the failed Turkish attacks on the Suez Canal in Egypt. The photograph, taken by an unknown creator in 1919, serves as a stark reminder of the heavy price paid for this ill-fated enterprise. The German-inspired scheme to cross the canal using pontoons dragged across the unforgiving desert proved to be a hopeless failure. As depicted in this image, only a few managed to reach the further side of the canal before meeting their tragic demise. Their bones now lie scattered across the arid landscape, bleached by relentless sun and time. From "The History of Great European War: its causes and effects" by W. Stanley Macbean Knight, we learn that these brave souls were part of an Ottoman Empire expeditionary force that suffered defeat at great cost. Their bodies serve as silent testimony to their valiant but ultimately futile efforts. As we contemplate this somber photograph, let us remember those who lost their lives during this tumultuous period in history. It stands as a testament not only to human courage and sacrifice but also as a cautionary tale about war's devastating consequences.
