EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the poignant scene of the evacuations of Gallipoli during World War I. Taken by an English photographer in the 20th century, this print showcases a pivotal moment in history. The image depicts a group of male soldiers from the joint British and French operation, alongside Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC), removing stores and transport from Helles Bay. The failed attempt to take Constantinople led to a strategic retreat by the allied forces, resulting in this powerful snapshot of defeat. The ships waiting at Cape provide a stark contrast against the backdrop of war-torn landscapes, symbolizing both hope for escape and impending danger. Intricately capturing every detail, this photograph showcases artillery and gun carriages scattered across the terrain as troops prepare for evacuation. It serves as a reminder of the immense challenges faced by these brave men during their time on Gallipoli's shores. As part of The Stapleton Collection, this print is now part of a private collection but remains out-of-copyright. Its historical significance lies not only in its portrayal of one specific campaign but also as an emblematic representation of World War I itself – known as "the Great War". This image stands as a testament to human resilience amidst adversity and offers viewers an opportunity to reflect upon the sacrifices made during that tumultuous period in history.
