'Landing Troops at Suvla Bay', (1919). Scene from the First World War, 1914-1919: 'The Germans and the Turks received a staggering disillusionment when the British forces landed at point after point on the Gallipoli peninsula, regarded by both as impregnable, and established themselves firmly by never-to-be-forgotten feats of arms and deeds of heroism.' The Gallipoli peninsula in western Turkey saw heavy fighting, with many casualties on both sides. 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]
