This work is an extensive analysis of the 1915 British landing at Suvla Bay, one of the most mismanaged and ineffective operations of World War I. Chapters examine the events that led to the landings on the Gallipoli peninsula, provide a comprehensive report on the landings themselves, and analyze the events and decisions contributing to their failure. Appendices provide first-hand accounts of the landings from period news articles, military documents and personal correspondence.
Description: A view of the landings at Suvla Bay seen from a vessel at sea. There is a large troop-ship moored just off the coast in the left of the composition. Several boats filled with troops are leaving this and making their way across to the land at the right.
The landing at Suvla Bay, part of the August Offensive, commenced on the night of 6 August 1915. This book adds to the Gallipoli story by recounting the Suvla Bay landing through a mix of official accounts, intertwined with a rich collection of the participants' letters, diaries, personal accounts, photographs, and maps.
Description: A view down the beach at Suvla Bay with the sea to the left and a destroyer lying offshore. Boats filled with British troops land on the shore, and then make their way up the beach. In the foreground there is the body of a soldier who has been shot down lying face down in the sand. To the left are boxes of supplies stacked on the beach. There is a large cloud of grey smoke further down the beach, and soldiers moving towards the explosion.
100 år efter Englands mislykkede Dardaneller angreb i 1807 forsøgtes det igen at indtage Dardanellerne under 1. Verdenskrig. Var angrebet lykkedes var 1. Verdenskrig muligvis endt i 1915. Angrebet mislykkedes på grund af elendig forberedelse og dårlig føring. Forfatteren deltog selv i operationen.
The battle for Gallipoli was officially described as one of the world's classic tragedies, and in this book the participants tell the full story of this failed offensive. The bitter campaign against the Turks was ill-conceived, inadequately equipped and never likely to succeed.
Terrain has a profound effect upon the strategy and tactics of any military engagement and has consequently played an important role in determining history. In addition, the landscapes of battle, and the geology which underlies them, has helped shape the cultural iconography of battle certainly within the 20th century. In the last few years this has become a fertile topic of scientific and historical exploration and has given rise to a number of conferences and books. The current volume stems from the international Terrain in Military History conference held in association with the Imperial War Museum, London and the Royal Engineers Museum, Chatham, at the University of Greenwich in January 2000. This conference brought together historians, geologists, military enthusiasts and terrain analysts from military, academic and amateur backgrounds with the aim of exploring the application of modem tools of landscape visualisation to understanding historical battlefields. This theme was the subject of a Leverhulme Trust grant (F/345/E) awarded to the University of Greenwich and administered by us in 1998, which aimed to use the tools of modem landscape visualisation in understanding the influence of terrain in the First World War. This volume forms part of the output from this grant and is part of our wider exploration of the role of terrain in military history. Many individuals contributed to the organisation of the original conference and to the production of this volume.
