Why the war started, how the Allies won, and why the world has never been the same
Infographic which presents Gallipoli battle in World War 1. It was the largest amphibious assault ever attempted until then.
Australians at home and abroad stood alongside New Zealanders today in a silent pact never to forget the sacrifice of the Anzacs on the battlefield at Gallipoli a century ago.
Moving troops and supplies by sea was vital to all armies involved in the war. The battle for control of the seas led to an arms race, new deadly tactics, and unprecedented loss of life at sea.
The Battle of Gallipoli, also known as the Dardanelles Campaign, was one of the most disastrous Allied campaigns during World War I. Launched on the shores of the Turkish Gallipoli peninsula by the Aegean Sea from late April 1915 to early January 1916, it was an Allied attempt to open…
This work investigates how various sacred spaces in Ottoman and Republican Turkey interfaced with British foreign policy. It considers how these spaces impacted upon British prestige in the context of its dealings with Turkey chiefly, as well as other Great Powers. The period covered is from the demise of the Levant Company in 1825, to the deconsecration of the Crimean Memorial Church in Istanbul, in 1976. Other sacred spaces discussed include the British Embassy Chapel, the Crimean War cemeteries, various British churches and cemeteries in Izmir, the Gallipoli cemeteries, connected with the campaign of 1915, and the Phanar, the Ecumenical Patriarch's home in Istanbul. The book considers how, and to what extent, the Foreign Office in London, and its staff in Turkey, intervened to secure those spaces, and why the politics of the Patriarchate intruded into the Foreign Office's geo-strategic considerations. It considers the limits of that support, and how dealings over sacred space intermeshed generally with British policy towards Turkey. It further explores the motives, not just of diplomats and consuls, who were instrumental in establishing or safeguarding those spaces, but also the aims of other organisations and of expatriate Britons, who were similarly involved. It also considers instances where such support became attenuated or was withdrawn. The book is unique in illuminating, in a broad fashion, the role of sacred space in the context of Anglo-Turkish relations, and British power projection in the Near East. 10 bw illus

Each year on Anzac Day, New Zealanders (and Australians) mark the anniversary of the Gallipoli landings of 25 April 1915. On that day, thousands of young men, far from their homes, stormed the beaches on the Gallipoli Peninsula in what is now Türkiye.
As a commemoration of the First World War centenary, the Australian War Memorial released the 39 images on Friday. Photos from the travelling exhibition - A Camera on Gallipoli - were taken by Melbourne surgeon Charles Ryan while he was serving with the Australian Imperial Force in Turkey in 1915.
