Gallipoli Campaign, World War I, 1915-1916. Artist: Realistic Travels Publishers
Gallipoli Campaign, World War I, 1915-1916. Reserves waiting for orders to move up to their new positions on the slopes of Cape Helles. 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
This print captures a significant moment during the Gallipoli Campaign of World War I. Taken by Realistic Travels Publishers, it depicts reserves anxiously awaiting orders to move up to their new positions on the slopes of Cape Helles. Launched in March 1915, this Allied operation aimed to establish a vital supply route to Russia through the Black Sea via the Dardanelles straits. However, despite its strategic importance, the campaign ultimately ended in failure. The Allied forces suffered immense casualties totaling 140,000 over eight grueling months. Winston Churchill's career as First Lord of the Admiralty was also marred by this ill-fated endeavor that he had commissioned. In this image, we see British soldiers dressed in military uniform with pith helmets and rifles at hand. Their expressions reveal a mix of determination and apprehension as they prepare for what lies ahead. The presence of guns and weaponry underscores the harsh reality of warfare during this tumultuous period. Realistic Travels Publishers has masterfully captured both the geographical features and human emotions within this stereoscopic card detail from their collection. As viewers gaze upon this photograph print, they are transported back in time to witness a pivotal moment in history when brave men awaited their fate on foreign shores.
