EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a bustling scene on West Beach, Suvla Point, just twenty-four hours before the historic evacuation of Gallipoli during World War One. Taken on December 20th, 1915 by renowned photographer Ernest Brooks Official, this snapshot offers a rare glimpse into the final moments of British soldiers as they embarked on lighter vessels known as Beetles. In this chaotic tableau, we witness brave soldiers scurrying about amidst an array of military activity. Horses stand steadfastly beside their riders while barges and lighters line the shore in preparation for departure. The tension in the air is palpable; these men are well aware that their lives hang in the balance. As war rages across Europe and Turkey becomes a battleground, this photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by countless individuals during one of history's most devastating conflicts.
