EDITORS COMMENTS
This sepia-toned photograph captures a defining moment in history - the destruction of a Turkish fort during World War I's Gallipoli Campaign. Taken on 28 March 1915, off Cape Helles, it showcases the sheer power and devastation unleashed by naval fire from the H. M. S. Queen Elizabeth. The image transports us to an early stage of the campaign, where cannon fire and shrapnel fill the air. The fort stands as a symbol of resistance against invading forces, yet its sturdy walls crumble under relentless bombardment. The intensity of this pivotal battle is palpable through every crack and crevice. As we examine this photograph closely, we can almost hear the thunderous roar of guns and feel the ground shake beneath our feet. It serves as a stark reminder of the immense sacrifices made by soldiers on both sides during this brutal conflict. In its sepia tones, this print evokes a sense of nostalgia for a time long past but not forgotten. It reminds us that war leaves behind scars that endure beyond generations - scars etched into landscapes and hearts alike. Let this image serve as a testament to those who fought valiantly at Gallipoli, their bravery forever immortalized in photographs like these. May we never forget their sacrifice or take for granted the peace we enjoy today thanks to their unwavering courage on distant shores.
