L'Histoire d'une splendide déconvenue - Anzac et Suvla; Les opérations britanniques de 1915
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating lithograph depicting a significant moment in the Gallipoli Campaign during the First World War. The image, created in 1916, captures the strategic locations of Anzac Cove and Suvla Bay on the western coast of the Gallipoli peninsula in the Aegean Sea. The print, from the "Collection de la Guerre IV. L'Illustration Tome CXLVIII. La Guerre Juillet, Aout, Septembre, Octobre, Novembre, Decembre 1916," provides a glimpse into the military operations that took place between July and December 1915. The British forces, represented by the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps, attempted to advance from Anzac Cove and Suvla Bay against the Ottoman Empire's defensive positions. The black and white image showcases the rugged coastline, with the dark waters of the Mediterranean Sea contrasting against the rocky terrain. The military landscape is dotted with tents, artillery, and soldiers, reflecting the harsh realities of warfare during this period. The title "L'Histoire d'une splendide déconvenue" translates to "The Tale of a Splendid Disappointment," alluding to the unsuccessful British attempts to gain a foothold in the Dardanelles Campaign and ultimately, the eventual withdrawal from Gallipoli in December 1915. This evocative print offers a poignant reminder of the complex geopolitical landscape of the early 20th century and the far-reaching consequences of the First World War. It serves as a testament to the bravery and determination of the soldiers involved, as well as the strategic importance of the Gallipoli Campaign in shaping the course of the war.
