EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time during the First World War, as Allied warships prepare for the bombardment of the Dardanelles in February 1915. The image features an impressive line-up of vessels from the British, French, and Russian navies, including HMS Dublin, Euryalus, Cornwallis, Amethyst, Sapphire, Vengeance, Lord Nelson, Implacable, Agamemnon, Canopus, Irresistible, Queen Elizabeth, Majestic, Prince George, Inflexible, Ocean, Triumph, Albion, French ships Gaulois, Suffren, Jaureguiberry, Bouvet, and the Russian ship Askold. Twelve destroyers can also be seen in the foreground. The Allied forces had assembled to break through the Dardanelles Straits and reach Constantinople, Istanbul, which was perceived as a key strategic victory that could turn the tide of the war. The bombardment marked the beginning of the Gallipoli Campaign, which ultimately proved to be a costly failure for the Allies. The photograph offers a glimpse into the vast naval power amassed during the conflict, with each ship representing the determination and resolve of the Allied forces. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during the First World War and the significant role that naval power played in shaping the course of the conflict.
