Acknowledgments There are always many people who contribute to a book length manuscript. Space prevents thanking them all, but it is necessary to acknowledge the most important. The nature of this work requires unusual demands on librarians, and the staffof the Hunt Memorial Library responded effectively to every one. The greatest amount of work fell on the interlibrary loan specialist, Robbie Walton Robinson, who found many an obscure work needed for the bibliography. Two friends, John Hutcheson of Dalton College and Jerry Sweeney of South Dakota State University read parts of the manuscript and made many valuable suggestions. Their generous and knowledgeable aid resulted in many improvements, and so the flaws that remain are clearly my own fault. Finally, my wife Mary Ann refused the usual role of long suffering support and pitched in to help with many parts of the project. She made useful comments, proofread, and indexed. She also encouraged more effectively than anyone else.

1 Introduction and Tactical Overview of the Campaign The passage of time has not slowed the production of books and articles about World War I. The two World War I volumes so far published in the Battles and Leaders series (of which the current volume will be a part), The Battle of Jutland by Eugene L. Rasor and The Battles of the Somme, 1916 by Fred R. van Hartesveldt, have together almost 1,400 entries, with relatively little overlap. A.J.P. Taylor's Illustrated History of the First World War [No. 688], written more than thirty years ago, has never been out of print. In the last three years several major scholarly works about the war have been prominent in general-interest bookstores. These include Lyn Macdonald's 1915: The Death of Innocence [No. 452], Martin Gilbert's The First World War: A Complete History [No. 272], and Paul Halpern's A Naval History of World War I [No. 306]. In that same time period, there were two major studies of the campaign that is the subject of the bibliography that follows: Nigel Steel and Peter Hart, Defeat at Gallipoli [No. 674] and Michael Hickey, Gallipoli [No. 330]. Popular interest is also strong. In the decade following the war, the campaign drew attention and comment [Nos. 342, 566], and such interest in the war and the Dardanelles continued into the current period. The 1962 movie Lawrence of Arabia was a blockbuster, and the B.B.C.'s twenty-six part series on World War I in 1964 caused much discussion. Concerning the Dardanelles, there was a successful Australian film, Gallipoli [68] starring Mel Gibson and directed by Peter Weir in 1981 and a documentary Gallipoli: The Fatal Shore in 1988. Joan Baez's 1995 album, Ring Them Bells, includes Eric Bogle's song "And the Band Played Waltzing Matilda," written in the early 1970s, lamenting the suffering of Australian soldiers at Gallipoli. As Baez's performance makes clear, the agonies of eighty years ago can still bring tears. It is also notable that April 25, the day of the first landings on Gallipoli, is celebrated as Anzac Day in Australia. It is treated very much like an independence day celebration and is an important element in Australian [Nos. 173,217,258-61, 363-65, 392,401,414,424,464, 471,494, 599,

Guides to the battlefield, hardly a draw to tourists other than for its history, continue to be published [Nos. 646, 670]. Public interest is also suggested by the amount of information concerning World War I and the Dardanelles now to be found on the Internet, but unlike the Battle of the Somme, the Dardanelles Campaign does not have a home page. A collection of World War I materials may be found at http://www.woHd warl. com/reflib.htm. Because the net is an ephemeral medium, however, the easiest way to find electronic material about the war is to use a search engine. The current volume is intended to be a guide to the historiography and bibliography of the Dardanelles Campaign, including the Gallipoli invasion. It is divided into two parts. The first provides background about the campaign, discusses the major sources of information about it, and lays out the major interpretive disputes. The second is a comprehensive annotated bibliography. An exception to the practice of annotation is made for volumes in Turkish, due to language difficulties, but such books are acknowledged if they are accessible in American libraries. Each book or article in the bibliography is numbered and these numbers are used for reference in the historiographical section. Although the Battles and Leaders series is intended to cover military history, any discussion of the Dardanelles must consider the political struggles in London over the strategic conception and the diversion of men and materiel from the Western Front. Decisions made in the War Council and Cabinet proved to be central to the outcome of the invasion of Turkey, and while a serious effort was made to avoid turning the volume into a bibliography of politics in wartime, political histories that give significant attention to the handling of the Dardanelles Campaign are included. It is certainly necessary to consult such works to acquire a thorough understanding of the military situation. Since the relationship of the experience of fighting on the Gallipoli peninsula with the growth of nationalism in Australia and New Zealand has influenced the historiography of the campaign, works on that subject are also included in the bibliography and historiographic discussion. Selection of them was based on their significance for understanding the campaign and its historiography, for the intention of this work is not to be a bibliography of the rise of national consciousness in the antipodes. TACTICAL OVERVIEW OF THE DARDANELLES CAMPAIGN By the beginning of 1915, expectations of an exciting but quick war, widespread in the summer of 1914, were rapidly disappearing. The failure of the Schlieffen Plan was followed by the spread of lines of trenches across Belgium and northern France. The Western Front was already a stalemated casualty mill. In the East, the brilliant German victories at Tannenberg and Masurian Lakes suggested that the Eastern Front might offer some possibility of maneuver, but the initial hope of the Entente Powers that a Russian steamroller would crush Germany and Austria soon

dimmed, though it did not disappear before mid-1916. Although the German presence had been growing in Turkey for some time before 1914, in the first few weeks of the war the Entente powers hoped for the Porte's neutrality. However, Enver Pasha, a leader of the Young Turk movement and as Minister of War a major political force, was pro-German, and the longstanding British influence in Constantinople had been squandered in recent years through a mix of incompetence and taking Turkish loyalty for granted [No. 251]. Furthermore, the Turks had to fear the likelihood that their empire would suffer in the division of the spoils if they sat out the war. Their decision was also influenced by considerations of which side was most likely to most respect their interests in return for an alliance. Could they trust London to protect them from the territorial aspirations of their traditional Russian foes? The decision by Winston Churchill, First Lord of the Admiralty, to seize two warships ordered from British shipyards and already paid for by the Turks is generally regarded as having given the Germans an opening. Two German ships, the Goeben and the Breslau, were in the Mediterranean at the beginning of the war. Although the Royal Navy was supposed to keep track of them, action was delayed pending a formal declaration of war between London and Berlin. The ships escaped, and with the help of Enver Pasha, passed through the Straits to Constantinople, where they were given to the Turks. The German crews put on fezzes and "joined" the Turkish navy, and German Admiral Wilhelm Souchon assumed overall command. The final steps to war were taken when the German officers, obviously in control of the Sultan's fleet, attacked Russian ports in the Black Sea. Turkey officially became one of the Central Powers [Nos. 251,466, 501, 711], despite some last minute under-the-table British efforts to buy her neutrality [Nos. 11, 60, 373]. David Fromkin [No. 251] offers a somewhat different version of these events, suggesting that Enver Pasha was seeking to manipulate the Germans into a deal which neither Berlin nor most other Turkish leaders wanted. In Fromkin's version, Admiral Souchon deliberately precipitated a crisis by exceeding his orders and taking the Goeben and Breslau to the Straits, but Berlin still did not think an alliance with Turks worthwhile. Fromkin believes that Berlin changed its mind when Enver Pasha, although he knew that the British were confiscating Turkey's new dreadnoughts, offered the more powerful Osman to the Germans anyway. The prospect of adding one of the most powerful ships afloat to the High Seas Fleet drew the Germans into an alliance, which without Enver's scheming was unlikely at best. Although Fromkin does not offer overwhelming evidence for this argument, it would, if true, relieve Winston Churchill of much of the indictment that he drove the Turks into the hands of the Germans. Meanwhile in London the group of leaders who came to be known as the Easterners-due to their belief that the focus of war effort should be shifted from the stalemated Western Front-was emerging. Most important among them were Churchill and David Lloyd George, Chancellor of the Exchequer (later Minister of Munitions and then Prime Minister). They were joined, at least in their hope of

using the Royal Navy rather than trying to compete on land with the traditional land powers, by Admiral Sir John Arbuthnot "Jackie" Fisher, the First Sea Lord [Nos. 39, 60, 347]. A number of schemes were advanced: Fisher, for instance, favored a landing in the Baltic for a drive into Germany. Churchill thought an amphibious attack to protect the Channel ports and flank the German lines should be attempted, but he had also suggested the possibility of using the navy to force passage through the Dardanelles to take Constantinople and force Turkey out of the war. Although he had ordered a bombardment of forts on the Gallipoli peninsula, which formed the western shore of the Dardanelles, the idea of striking at Constantinople does not seem to have been foremost in his thinking [No. 142, 269]. The steps leading to the Dardanelles Campaign began with a request from the Russian Grand Duke Nicholas for action against Turkey to help reduce pressure on Russian forces in the Caucasus. Although London felt constrained to help its ally, Lord Kitchener, Secretary of State for War, insisted that no troops were available. Churchill, eager for action, suggested a naval demonstration. Kitchener approved, and Churchill quickly moved forward with the idea of forcing the Straits. He and others [Nos. 208, 513, 661] believed that the presence of a Royal Navy squadron off Constantinople would result in Turkey leaving the war, thereby opening the Straits for military supplies to reach Russia and grain to move in the other direction. There was also the likelihood that Balkan states might join the Entente (or at worst stay neutral) allowing aid to Serbia and possibly pressure against Austria. Many people thought it was an effort which, if successful, would win the war [Nos. 180, 252,486,546,594,651]. In a leading question, Churchill requested the views of the admiral on the scene, Sir Sackville Hamilton Carden, and got the reply that a systematic step-by-step approach to destruction of the shore fortifications and sweeping of the mines in the channel was feasible. It was good enough for the First Lord and some of his advisers [No. 374], and he presented his plan to a tired and frustrated War Council in mid-January. Despite ambiguous historical precedent and a technical analysis of 1906 [No. 120] saying the Straits could not be forced, Churchill was sure of success. However, he did note that if problems developed the attack could be ended and portrayed as a demonstration [Nos. 120, 459] Chuchill's eloquence swayed Fisher, who as First Sea Lord was the key technical naval advisor, and Maurice Hankey, the soldier serving as secretary to the War Council. The politicians on the council were delighted with a plan to escape the hopelessness of the Western Front, especially if it were done without the commitment of troops. No one asked what later seemed to be obvious questions, such as what was to happen if the Turks yielded and there were no troops present to garrison Constantinople. The navy's initial efforts appeared promising. Admiral Carden began his efforts to shell the fortifications into submission on February 19 and by March 16 seemed on the verge of success. Long-range shelling had so quieted resistance that parties of marines had been landed to destroy artillery positions. Although some of these groups had met serious opposition, by and large the effort seemed to have gone

well. The defenses had, however, been improved with German help. General Otto Liman von Sanders, active with the Turkish forces before the war began, was given charge of Gallipoli [Nos. 395, 615, 706]. The forts had gotten improved artillery four years earlier, and mobile howitzers, a difficult target under the best of circumstances, were now deployed. The early success was more apparent than real [Nos. 227, 615]. The navy's great, and as it turned out final, push was to be March 18, by which date Carden had broken down physically and was replaced by Admiral John Michael de Robeck, his second in command. The squadron was made up of seventeen pre-dreadnought battleships (three of them French), which Churchill and others regarded as obsolescent and expendable, plus assorted smaller vessels. It was augmented, at the suggestion of Admiral Fisher, by H.M.S. Queen Elizabeth, a super-dreadnought, which was to complete her sea and gunnery trials by participating. The plan was for three lines of battleships to engage the inner fortresses (the outer ones supposedly having been reduced already) at increasingly short range and, as the defenses were destroyed, for mine sweepers to clear the way to move through the Straits. The first wave, made up of the Queen Elizabeth, four pre-dreadnoughts, and the battle cruiser Inflexible, seemed to be accomplishing its task, but as it turned away and the second line of four French battleships moved up, Turkish fire was renewed and the French Bouvet was sunk by a mine with virtually all hands. Nonetheless victory seemed in hand, and so the third line of six battleships was ordered forward with the mine sweepers. Then H.M.S. Inflexible hit a mine and also sank, although most of her crew was rescued. This was very shortly followed by major damage to H.M.S. Irresistible and the French Gaulois. In the late afternoon, Admiral Roger Keyes took a destroyer supported by H.M.S. Ocean and H.M.S. Swiftsure in an attempt to save Irresistible, only to have Ocean mined so that both were ultimately lost. The improved defenses and possibly an alert from a bombardment in November of 1914 (Fromkin [No. 251; see also 139, 142] insists that the Turks took no warning), had paid dividends [No. 706]. The most important change, as it turned out, was a short row of mines laid parallel to the shore (all others were across the channel) and undiscovered by the attackers which all the badly damaged ships hit. Mine sweeping went poorly because the trawlers assigned the job were not powerful enough to move with any speed against the current and were easy targets for the Turks. Civilian crews had a tendency to give up the effort quickly causing Churchillian amazement that the operation ended before any serious casualties were taken. By the end of the day on the 18th, de Robeck was dispirited. His second in command, Admiral Roger Keyes, however, was convinced that victory only required one more thrust which should be undertaken on the next day. He also proposed using naval crews on mine sweepers and fitting out destroyers to do the job if more power was needed to negotiate the currents. Keyes' view is the center of much of the historiographical speculation about the navy's effort. Could the navy have won through and carried the day by promptly

renewing its attack? Keyes [Nos. 305, 397-98] was completely convinced it could and pressed repeatedly for renewed naval assaults-even going to London late in 1915 to argue against his commander's support for evacuation and in favor of a new sea borne assault. His ideas are supported by many historians and some military men [Nos. 61, 86, 143, 162, 251, 350, 405. 427, 663, 717, 733] who believe that since the defenders were dispirited and out of ammunition, a renewed attack on the 19th would have resulted in victory. Even Liman von Sanders [No. 615] and his adjutant [No. 579] suggest that the defense was in trouble, as do some Turkish sources [Nos. 418, 698], but the memoirs of officers on the defeated side written for sale after the peace must be viewed with some caution. Current scholars, however, tend to question such hopes of success. Paul Halpern [No. 304] praises de Robeck's caution, and others, most importantly Kevin Fewster [No. 227] argue that the Turks were adequately supplied and could have successfully warded off a second attack. Unfortunately there was no pudding for the eating to prove. General Sir Ian Hamilton, appointed to head the Mediterranean Expeditionary Force, had arrived on the scene for the attack of the 18th, and after meeting with the naval commanders, advised Kitchener that a combined arms approach was necessary. De Robeck, whether from the desire to escape responsibility or sincere concurrence, agreed, and the decision to wait for the army was taken. On paper Hamilton certainly did not seem an inappropriate choice for command. He was a career soldier who had served as Kitchener's chief of staff in South Africa and was known for his scholarly approach to his profession. His performance at the Dardanelles, however, is frequently condemned [Nos. 330, 372, 405, 412-13, 590]. Although his nephew's biography [No. 314] is an unconvincing tribute, among those who have written about the campaign he does have his defenders [Nos. 43, 422, 640]. These defenses tend to suggest that he was asked to make bricks without straw. He was told there would be no reinforcements, and to go immediately—he had to leave without much of his staff even being selected. He was given little information—the 1906 evaluation asserting that storming the Straits was impossible was not mentioned in his cursory briefing, and the few maps supplied were out of date and inaccurate. The transports with his forces had been loaded with no thought about combat priorities for landing their contents. Facilities at Mudros, the harbor from which the actual assault was to be mounted, were limited and so the ships were sent back to Egypt to be unloaded and appropriately repacked. The landings were finally made on April 25. Whether or not the several weeks of delay proved advantageous to the defenders is a matter of controversy [Nos. 147, 290, 314, 427, 561, 633, 640, 693], but Liman von Sanders [No. 615] says that it was decisive. Hamilton had several options for the invasion, and chose to strike at Cape Helles, the tip of the peninsula, with landings at several points-S, V, W, X, and Y beaches-and further up the coast at Ari Burnu, an area that became known as Anzac because the forces committed there were from the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps commanded by General Sir William Birdwood [No. 75]. The French contingent was to land at Kum Kale on the Asiatic side of the Straits as a

diversion, and then be withdrawn and landed at Helles because Kitchener had forbidden extended operations in Asia. The Royal Naval Division [Nos. 294, 37880, 598, 624, 688] also was to make a diversionary attack and then withdraw to form the reserve. The idea was that while the Turks tried to determine the main axis of the attack, the British forces would drive up from Helles while the Anzac units pushed across the peninsula to cut off both reinforcement and retreat. Naval forces would be able to provide both logistic and artillery support, although some officers reported orders not to fire after the landings for fear of hitting their own men [Nos. 114, 172, 722]. Although the concept has gotten good marks from many [Nos. 314, 422, 508, 590, 633], Denis Winter, who can be counted upon for a revisionist view well made, suggests that the planning was revised so often that the tactical commanders, even on the 25th, did not fully know what they were to do, and success would have been little short of a miracle [No. 750]. Frank Knight [No. 405; see also 40, 176, 186] agrees firmly about the muddled planning. The worst situation at Cape Helles was at V Beach where an old ship, the H.M.S. River Clyde, was grounded to provide a landing passage-a real innovation in amphibious operations [No. 686] but also an obvious target for the defenders. The attackers here were met by determined resistance based on well-sited machine guns and barely got any men ashore alive before dark. Although the defenders were relatively few there was also serious resistance at W beach, where the Lancashire Fusiliers lost half of their men and became famous for winning six Victoria Crosses. The best was Y Beach where the landing was unresisted, and S Beach was also taken easily. The officer in charge of the landings, General Aylmer Hunter- Weston, commander of the 29th Division, remained offshore and has often been damned for being out of touch with the situation He insisted on sticking to the original pattern of landing~V and W were the main thrust-to avoid confusion, even though that meant continuing to disembark troops at the beaches where the defense was strongest. He even rejected a fairly strong suggestion from Hamilton that troops be diverted to "Y" Beach. Hamilton was convinced that the commander-in-chief should not interfere with the conduct of an operation after it was underway and was afflicted with a degree of diffidence rarely found in a successful military man. Thus, he did no more than suggest diversion of secondary assaults to the beaches with little defense, even when he knew of problems. The situation on shore was worsened because Hunter-Weston's orders were so vague that units which made successful landings did not know what to do next. Two officers at Y Beach walked unimpeded to the village of Krithia, which would be the goal of three futile and bloody attacks (April 28, May 6-8, and June 4) and returned to their beachhead for lunch. The units also made no effort to support other landings. A stroke from S beach could have taken the Turks who were slaughtering the men trying to land from the River Clyde in the rear and potentially saved many British lives. Lacking orders and experienced officers who might have taken the initiative, the troops merely waited. Those on Y Beach eventually were evacuated as Turkish reinforcements arrived and began counterattacks. The heroism

8

The Dardanelles Campaign, 1915

of the men has been generally praised [Nos. 55, 148, 164-65, 333, 413, 494 for instance], and the incompetence of the leadership almost as commonly damned [Nos. 405, 481-83, 508, 605, 645, 668, 684 for instance]. The latter criticism is mitigated in some accounts on grounds that the troops and officers were inexperienced and inadequately trained—situations over which the commanders of the expedition had little or no control [Nos. 43, 94, 350,422, 517, 640]. Condemnation is not universal. Geoffrey Till and Cortez Stephens [Nos. 686, 649] argue that much did go right and that given the lack of experience or even doctrine concerning amphibious operations the results were better than might have been expected. Some sources from the defending side suggest that the attack came closer to success than the final result suggested [Nos. 390, 523, 579, 594]. Nonetheless, the situation at Cape Helles quickly bogged down into trench warfare reminiscent of the Western Front and no more significant progress occurred. The landing at Anzac, between Gaba Tepe and Ari Burnu, also went badly. Hasty, frequently changed planning and/or problems of currents and poor navigation resulted in the troops reaching the beaches at unexpected places and with units mixed. The small unit officers were given the plans so late they lacked adequate knowledge of the terrain to compensate for the errors and there was much confusion. Although these problems are commonly regarded as the result of the fog of war, Eric Bush [No. 114] who, as a midshipman, commanded one of the landing tows, insists that inexcusably poor navigation by the navy was at fault. Denis Winter [Nos. 749-50] says the planning was the real flaw and that blaming the currents or navigation is an effort to shift the responsibility. He charges such dissembling was extended into the evidence presented to the Dardanelles Commission, which investigated the situation. The enthusiastic Australian and New Zealand troops drove inland anyway and were in a fair way of reaching the vital high ground-Sari Bair Ridge and the summit at Chunuk Bair. The landing confusion slowed initial progress, and then Turkish resistance, very limited at first, grew strong. The possibility of withdrawal was put to General Birdwood, but for once Hamilton rejected the opinion of the man on the scene and the Anzacs successfully dug in. Unfortunately for the Allied cause, the defense fell into the hands of a ruthless and brilliant officer-trie sort of leader the Allies lacked throughout the campaign-named Mustafa Kemal Ultimately to be Atattirk, the leader of a new Turkey, at Gallipoli Kemal drove himself and his men to heroism and sacrifice almost beyond reason. Badly outnumbered initially, Kemal was able to hold and force a stalemate at Anzac [Nos. 30, 178, 249, 403, 456, 499, 518,554,594,705,712,723]. Although Keyes continued to press for an aggressive effort, the Royal Navy was not to have a decisive effect at the Dardanelles. Successful submarine penetration of the Straits and attacks on Turkish shipping in the Sea of Marmora was good for morale, but did little to change the situation on Gallipoli. Some commentators, including Liman von Sanders [No. 615], have suggested, however, that a more sustained effort might have crippled the Turkish logistics [Nos. 155, 329].

Unfortunately for the Royal Navy, the Turks and Germans also had a sea borne sting. On May 13 a Turkish destroyer torpedoed H.M.S. Goliath, and then toward the end of the month a U-boat sank H.M.S. Majestic. The German submarine activity [Nos. 328,344,420,475,480,496] led the Admiralty to pull the battleships out of the area. The troops not only had to watch the Majestic go down, but also saw the strongest elements of their naval support, especially the Queen Elizabeth, flee. The replacement of the capital ships with monitors, less vulnerable to torpedoes, did not restore the lost morale. In London, the U-boat crisis contributed to a final break between Fisher and Churchill (see Chapter 3), and the former's resignation undermined the latter, so that the most ardent supporter of the Dardanelles Campaign lost much influence. The early and mid-summer at Gallipoli was a period of frustration and suffering. Savage fighting was frequent, with lines in places only ten to twenty yards apart. Casualties were heavy, and were greatly increased by sickness as the summer progressed. A plague of flies, understated by being called Biblical in proportion, fed on the thousands of unburied corpses (an early truce to bury the dead was not repeated) and spread disease, especially dysentery. Evacuation of 1,000 men in a day was not uncommon. Drinking water was usually in very short supply, especially in Allied lines. Men often had to get by with about a canteen full a dayfor drinking and washing. Frequent reports of soldiers swimming in the sea, when observers thought they should have been fighting, are in part explained by the need to wash off at least some of the filth in which they were living. The diet was monotonous and almost entirely lacking in vegetables. Medical arrangements for casualties and sanitation were inadequate, and although there was some improvement during the course of the campaign, never really very good [Nos. 15, 115, 186, 201, 385, 417 for instance]. As the situation became a disaster in the making, Hamilton overcame his awe of Kitchener enough to ask more forcefully than in the past for reinforcements. Concerned that the prestige of the empire would suffer irredeemably if the campaign failed, Kitchener was actually prepared to send more troops, but although four divisions came for the August attack, some commentators think the numbers were so few the effort was doomed [Nos. 32, 114, 310, 428, 523]. With the availability of reinforcements—mostly untried Territorial Forces which some have argued should have been used as replacements rather than inserted as new units [No. 72]-Hamilton planned a new initiative: a landing just above Anzac at Suvla Bay, where the terrain would allow a drive across the narrowest point in the peninsula. Turkish forces would be trapped and positions commanding the Straits taken, thus allowing the navy to sail into the Sea of Marmora. Diversionary attacks were planned at Helles, with Krithia once again the goal, and at Anzac to take the position known as Lone Pine. If for once the planning of an operation in the Dardanelles Campaign was welldone, the tactical elements were as badly handled as ever. Kitchener rejected Hamilton's request for a youthful, energetic general from France to command the

offensive. Basing his choice on seniority, he sent General Sir Frederick Stopford, who at sixty-one had never commanded troops in battle. His most recent field service was in the Boer War. Stopford, only recently recalled from retirement, was convinced that he lacked adequate artillery for an offensive and drifted away from Hamilton's emphasis on reaching the high ground-the Anafarta Ridge-until successfully landing troops became his main objective. Due to a wrenched knee he did not go ashore for several days after the landing, and he ignored increasingly urgent messages from Hamilton about pressing the attack against the ridges. On shore confusion often reigned. Officers had not been given assignments in time to study them thoroughly, and units got lost due to poor maps and ignorant guides. Nonetheless there were chances for successes that might have turned the whole campaign in favor of the British. Perhaps most unfortunate was a unit that stopped within a few hundred yards of the undefended key summit of Chunuk Bair to have breakfast and await a supporting column. Turkish forces reached the summit first and held. There were, however, some limited successes. The Australian assault on Lone Pine resulted in very bloody, hand to hand fighting but took the position, and at the end of August, Hill 60 was taken. Individual heroism during the campaign was so common as to be taken for granted, but without focus and determination at the top it was futile. Examples of missed tactical opportunities are really beside the point. The real failure was that of commanders from the top down who did not make clear to subordinates or did not themselves understand that success required vigorous and rapid assault on the high ground. Hamilton had planning reports that made clear that Stopford was scaling back expectations to little more than establishing a beachhead, but he failed to intervene. He also did not correct faults during the battle, even though he had chances to do so. The troops were bitter [Nos. 334-35] and historians critical [Nos. 72, 226, 335, 483]. The lack of naval support [Nos. 145, 172] and poor logistical arrangements [Nos. 9,43, 87, 310, 465, 472, 624, 647, 679, 698] have been cited as contributory factors, and once again the battle bogged down. After the failure at Suvla, evacuation began to be considered. The critique of the campaign was furthered by the action of some correspondents. Ellis AshmeadBartlett [Nos. 22, 24-25], a newspaper correspondent, was on the scene and very critical of the conduct of the campaign from the beginning. His dispatches were subject to censorship, as were all such reports. C.E.W. Bean [Nos. 51-55], the official Australian press representative, regarded the censorship as appropriate and reasonable, but Ashmead-Bartlett wanted to make a case. A visit by Keith Murdock, an Australian reporter, officially looking at the arrangements for mail to soldiers, provided an opportunity. Murdock, who had sought appointment as the Australian correspondent but lost out to Bean, asked for a chance to visit Gallipoli. A brief visit left him appalled, and he agreed to carry a very critical letter from Ashmead-Bartlett to London. Another correspondent, concerned about the violation of the terms accepted by all reporters, (to submit all reports to military censorship), warned Hamilton. Murdock was intercepted and the letter confiscated.

He wrote friends in the government in Australia describing in sometimes lurid terms the conditions at Gallipoli. A copy reached Lloyd George, who then helped to ensure H. H. Asquith, the Prime Minister, also saw it. The letter was soon circulating through official and unofficial channels. Meanwhile, Hamilton's staff had arranged for one of their own, Guy Dawnay, to be sent back to London to report on the situation. Although not hostile to Hamilton, his report was not encouraging [Nos. 234, 576]. Inspections-first by General Charles Monro, who in late October replaced Hamilton, and later by Kitchener-confirmed that evacuation or massive reinforcement were the only viable options. The entry of Bulgaria into the war in alliance with the Central Powers, however, made the flow of German supply, especially artillery, to Turkey more convenient, and so further attacks, even with reinforcements, seemed unlikely to succeed. Churchill [No. 147] said of Monro: "He came, he saw, he capitulated." The general's biographer [No. 47], however, argues that Monro was a competent professional soldier who acted responsibly in contrast to the mercurial amateur in London. Initial fears of massive losses during evacuation proved false. Organized by Colonel C.B.B. White, careful progressive reductions in force combined with imaginative ruses to make the Turks think all was normal resulted in complete withdrawal with no casualties at all. This was accomplished despite a storm that smashed piers and caused flooding that drowned men in trenches and drove many to open ground followed by a bitter cold spell that resulted in hundreds of cases of frostbite and even deaths from exposure. The Anzac area was empty of Allied troops by December 20 and Helles by January 9. Accounts from both the Allied [Nos. 47, 152, 218, 229, 41, 506. 529, 592] and Turkish [No. 635] sides make it clear that the withdrawal was ironically the triumph of the campaign. Geoffrey Till [No. 686; see also 120, 240, 255, 484, 495] insists that it proves how much was learned and shows the campaign had been a success as part of the process of learning modern warfare. The fighting was over. The disputes about whether it should have been attempted and why it failed were just beginning.

Overviews, Archival Sources, and Periodicals From its beginning, the Dardanelles Campaign has been a subject of controversy. The questions of whether failure was due to the strategy or the tactics-or both, and of which individuals-politicians, sailors, and/or soldiers-were at fault have been repeatedly answered. The best introduction to the controversies can be found in Edward Spiers contribution to The First World War and British Military History [No. 643]. There are some patterns to this commentary, and outlining the overviews that have been advanced should help make interpretations of the campaign understandable. Many surveys, although they are often the starting point for investigations of a topic and frequently the only portrayal students ever read, do not necessarily offer a very balanced interpretation. The war was not over before the armchair quarterbacks, unrestrained by the lack of information, produced overviews second guessing soldiers and politicians about the Dardanelles. Such early works such as John Masefield's [No. 485 see also Nos. 537, 577,631] offer an appreciation of the heroism and suffering of the troops, but the authors had little access to documentary evidence and were constrained by governmental censorship. Granville Fortescue [No. 237] is particularly critical of the strategy, arguing that the Straits were impregnable, but Henry Nevinson [No. 537] insists the strategic concept was sound and failure was due to the refusal of political and military leadership in London to provide the campaign with adequate support. Sydney Mosley [No. 517] damns other writers for their harshness, attributing failure to unavoidable human error. What would become a flood of memoirs also began almost immediately after the withdrawal. While these authors had little more to offer in terms of military and political information, many gave good accounts of their experiences. John Gallishaw's Trenching at Gallipoli [No. 257], apparently the first book about Gallipoli to appear, is a good example [see also Nos. 257, 273-74, 389, 741]. More documentation emerged with the 1916 publication of the reports [No. 290] of the Dardanelles Commission, established to investigate the failure of the

campaign, and then the Mitchell Report in 1919 [No. 504]. Although they did not include the actual evidence collected, the Dardanelles Commission reports did develop several lines of criticism that continue to appear. These include the foolishness of launching a purely naval attack, without adequate consultation with professional naval officers; the indecisiveness about the provision of troops; lack of staff work; excessive concern about the impact of withdrawal at the War Office; and poor leadership on the scene. Denis Winter [No. 750] argues, however, that witnesses deliberately mislead the Commission to divert blame from themselves and their friends. This very real possibility makes caution important when using the reports. Perhaps the most important of the works in the few years just after the war were correspondent Henry Nevinson's [No. 537], in which the strategy is praised and failure blamed on lack of surprise and tactical error; Charles Callwell's [No. 120] somewhat self-serving denunciation of the strategy planned without attention to his earlier critical evaluation of an attack on the Dardanelles; and C.E.W. Bean's Story ofAnzac [No. 55]. Bean was the accredited Australian war correspondent, official historian, and a prolific writer. He spent much more time at the front than other newspapermen and developed deep emotional ties to the Anzac troops. He also exhibits a strong sense of nascent Australian nationalism [No. 55-56]. Although an admirable scholar, his criticism of the Dardanelles plan, which he regards as an impossible task forced on the military by politicians, must be considered as possibly biased by his Australian sympathies. Although his involvement with the strategic thinking about the Dardanelles is detailed in Chapter 3, as the author of the monumental survey of the war, World Crisis [No. 147], Winston Churchill must also be considered here. As First Lord of the Admiralty, Churchill took responsibility for planning the campaign, and in fact he originated the idea for it. Churchill's history includes a vigorous defense of his conduct and set the tone for much of the subsequent debate about Dardanelles Campaign. Churchill regards the strategic conception for the campaign as sound and the failure as the result of a series of strategic and tactical errors over which he had no control-"terrible ifs" he calls them. Although Robin Prior [No. 580] insists that Churchill's account is extremely self-serving, it continues to have a powerful impact on how the Dardanelles Campaign is viewed. Churchill got support from several Cabinet colleagues in the years immediately following publication of his book. Lord Grey, the Foreign Secretary [No. 293], H. H. Asquith, the Prime Minister [No. 556], and David Lloyd George, in 1915 Chancellor of the Exchequer [No. 437] all published memoirs that absolved Churchill from the worst of the blame. Still, as members of the War Council they had agreed to the First Lord's plans and would have to share some of the blame if he were judged too harshly. Some German works, including memoirs and official histories [Nos. 523, 579, 594, 615], supported Churchill, suggesting that the Dardanelles Campaign came very close to success, as did the British official history. [No. 27]. This is also the era when Basil Liddell Hart [Nos. 426-29] began his career-long defense of the indirect strategy. Liddell Hart, a veteran of the war

14

The Dardanelles Campaign, 1915

before he was a historian, regarded the view that the war had to be won in France by frontal assault to break the German line as murderously foolish. Any alternative to the Western Front seemed wise, and, although he was too good a scholar not to acknowledge that there were tactical errors in the handling of the Dardanelles Campaign, he supported the strategy. By the time of the Second World War, the dominant interpretation-despite some continued criticism of the Dardanelles Campaign/?^ se [Nos. 24-25, 211] and as a distraction from the vitally important Western Front [No. 60, 486-87, 673, 672]~was that the strategy was somewhere between reasonable and brilliant but that the tactical and logistical handling of the campaign ranged somewhere between unsuccessful and criminal. John North's Gallipoli: The Fading Vision [No. 546] pulled together these various themes providing a (perhaps overly) moderate survey of the campaign. Alan Moorehead's unusually well-written Gallipoli [No. 508] reopened the Dardanelles debate in the 1950s. Moorehead strongly defends the strategy, insisting the naval attack had the potential to reach Constantinople and that the Turks were little short of hysterical at the prospect. The failures were not pressing the naval attack after the disappointments of March 18 and in the land tactics after the invasion of Gallipoli. Even at that, he argues, the campaign nearly carried the day. The publication of Maurice Hankey's memoirs [No. 316] put paid to the positive outlook. Colonel Hankey had been secretary to the War Council and despite some early support for the Dardanelles idea, had warned the Council repeatedly that large numbers of troops would be required. He was ignored, and his comments left little doubt of his disdain for the strategic and technical knowledge of the politicians who made the decisions about the campaign. Hankey's memoirs were followed by Robert Rhodes James's Gallipoli [No. 372]. James's attitude is that the Dardanelles Campaign was a foolish idea conducted foolishly. Subsequently, John Laffin [Nos. 412-13] and Peter Liddle [No. 433] agreed. Laffin went so far as to list the faults of every general officer, and many others, who served on Gallipoli in a chapter entitled "Guilty Men." Denis Winter in 25 April 1915: The Inevitable Disaster [No. 750] was extremely critical of the planning by Sir Ian Hamilton and his staff, suggesting that haste, repeated changes, and failure to inform mid-level officers who would lead the actual combat produced confusion and led to failure. Some recent surveys of the campaign are somewhat less condemnatory. Edwin Hoyt's Disaster at the Dardanelles, 1915 [No. 350] returns to the idea that the failure was in not carrying through the initial concept. He blames the lack of will of the admirals and generals who decided to wait for combined arms after the initial naval failure, thus allowing defensive preparation. Harvey Broadbent's work [No. 95], despite a rather bizarre explanation of British motivation (see Chapter 6 below), also focuses on tactical errors. Nigel Steel and Peter Hart in Defeat at Gallipoli [No. 647] condemn the planning, which was overly tied to politics, and question whether victory would have produced as much gain as was hoped. Some success would have been possible, however, were it not for the mind-boggling series of tactical errors. They do not, however, single out any individual as particularly at fault. Michael Hickey in Gallipoli [No. 330] also damns poor

leadership but shies away from excessive fault finding. The volumes by Steel and Hart and Hickey are, however, quite good factual surveys of the campaign. In both cases the descriptions of the campaign are clear and interpretations are logical and judicious, if cautious. These books are, currently, the best choices for initial introductions to the campaign. ARCHIVAL SOURCES Archival resources for researching the Dardanelles Campaign are substantial. The bulk of them, and the most important by far, are English and Australian, although some other records are available. The limited French involvement may be pursued at the French Military Archives, Chateau de Vincennes and the Ministere de la Marine, Paris. German involvement was very limited, but some military archives may prove of use. There are some German sources on microfilm at the National Archives Record Service in Washington, D. C. There are useful guides to the British sources. Janet Foster and Julia Sheppard's British Archives: A Guide to Archive Resources in the United Kingdom, 3rd edition [No. 239] should be consulted, as should Robin Higham's A Guide to the Sources of British Military History [No. 332]. Peter H. Liddle's "Report on Gallipoli Research in Australia and New Zealand" in Archives and Manuscripts [No. 434] provides some information concerning the collection of soldiers' reminiscences that he has assembled. S. L. Mayer and W. J. Koenig's The Two World Wars: A Guide to Manuscript Collections in the United Kingdom [No. 491] is also useful. These should be supplemented with the guides provided at particular archives-especially the Public Record Office at Kew and the Imperial War Museum in London. The following is a list of archives which hold major collections of manuscripts and records of importance to the study of the Dardanelles Campaign. The most important collections at each archive are listed as well. The New Zealand National Archives in Wellington and many local and regional libraries in both Australia and New Zealand hold various diaries of soldiers and other participants in the Dardanelles Campaign (see No. 185 for the LaTrobe Library of Victoria, Australia), but space does not permit even an attempt to list such collections.

Dardanelles (triennial issues); The Anzac Bulletin (apparently only published in 1917); Reveille; Coo-ee; Duckboard; Mufti', Dinkum Oil; Standeasy (New Zealand); Gallipoli Gazette. Newspapers are often not of much importance for the study of military campaigns due to censorship, but The Age and the Argus of Melbourne did carry many articles from Gallipoli. The ingenuity of soldiers in finding ways to publish trench newspapers is amazing, and the men at Gallipoli were no exceptions. Although examples of their writing can be gotten from The Anzac Book [No. 494], The Dardanelles Driveller and The Peninsula Press offer a look at the attitudes of the men on the scene at various times in the campaign.

3 Politics and Strategy The strategic planning for the Dardanelles was controversial from its inception. Much of the initial thinking came from Winston Churchill, for whom the choice was between diverting the military effort from France or, as he put it, continuing "to chew barbed wire." He was not alone in this view. Several powerful politicians and some military officers agreed [Nos. 255, 426-29, 437, 556]. The whole concept of an Eastern strategy has been part of a major historiographical dispute since the war. Perhaps the most vehement disputants have been Churchill , whose World Crisis [Nos. 147] cannot be dismissed as merely defensive, and Basil Liddell Hart [Nos. 426-29] on the side of the Easterners and John Terraine [Nos. 672-74] and Peter Liddle [Nos. 431-33] on that of the Westerners. It is, however, an on-going argument and has at no time lacked for advocates on either side, but many observers agree that the failure of the Dardanelles Campaign was the turning point in deciding that the major effort had to be made in France [Nos. 87, 255, 352, 674, 716]. Although there were a number of proposals for attacking the Central Powers somewhere other than France, the eventual choice was an assault on the Ottoman Empire by forcing the Straits and taking Constantinople. This was not anyone's first choice, but when the Russians asked for help with the Turks, Easterners, especially Churchill, embraced it. An attack via the Hellespont could hardly fail to be attractive to the classically educated English and actually offered some strategic possibilities. Even at the beginning of 1915, it was hard to deny that Germany was the key to the Central Powers, but pre-war emphasis on the importance of allies left the sense that if those allies could be defeated, a great power would be fatally weakened. Hence knocking out Turkey, ensuring that the Balkan states would remain neutral or even join the Entente, and threatening Austria-Hungary seemed attractive. It does not seem to have occurred to the planners that her Eastern allies were more a drain than an addition to German power and could provide little more than a diversion to hold Entente forces away from the Western Front. More practically, opening the passage from the Mediterranean to the Black Sea offered

the possibility of supplying the Russians with much needed military equipment, though the shortage of shells in France suggested there was little to supply, and getting needed grain from the Ukraine. Although often criticized, the basic idea has drawn approval from a number of students of strategy. C.R.M.F. Cruttwell [No. 170] in his survey of strategy supports the idea of striking away from the Western Front, though not at the Dardanelles, especially in view of what is now known about German plans to focus their efforts on Russia in 1915. William McPherson [No. 470] asserts that, if the effort had been given the necessary support with men and materiel, Germany would have been defeated before the United States got involved. Even Frederick Maurice, a military officer and Westerner in overall interpretation [No. 486], avers that there was strategic merit in the concept. Although David French [Nos. 246,248] is more critical, those scholars who focus on strategy per se have generally suggested that the Dardanelles had a chance to succeed. Students of other aspects of the situation have not always agreed. As Clement Attlee said of him years later, Churchill always had numerous solutions for a problem and rarely much sense of which of them was the best. He was not a man of halves, however, and once he adopted the Dardanelles operation he poured his enormous charisma, eloquence, and energy into getting it adopted. German success in reducing Belgian fortresses with artillery fire convinced him the Royal Navy could blast its way through Turkish defenses at the Straits. The difference between the high-angle fire of German howitzers and the flat trajectory of naval guns appears to have given him no pause. Although the Sea Lords, the First Lord of the Admiralty's technical advisors, later claimed to have known better all along [Nos. 159, 211, 270, 291, 573], their comments at the time were, at best, hesitant, crabbed, and often oblique. Churchill has been condemned frequently for pressing his plan despite his lack of technical expertise [Nos. 270-71, 348-49, 371], and on the question of guns he was indeed wrong. The greater fault, however, was with the specialists who knew better than he did but allowed him to so overawe them that they failed to speak up. Later claims that they had recognized the error early on do them little credit. Churchill does appear to have preferred a combined arms approach. Yet, faced by Kitchener's firm assertion that there were no troops available for use outside of France, the Russians' call for help with the Turks, and his own enormous urge to do something, Churchill asserted that the Royal Navy could force the Straits alone and that the mere appearance of a squadron off Constantinople would produce the collapse of the Turkish government [Nos. 27, 28, 137, 147, 717]. Presented to a tired, frustrated War Cabinet in January, the idea was irresistible. The shimmering prospects of a major victory-there had been few so far~a link to Russia, and perhaps even a Balkan coalition against the Austrians blinded the politicians to the difficulties of turning the theory into practice. Besides, Churchill assured them that in the unlikely event the thing went wrong, the operation could be depicted as merely a demonstration and abandoned without loss of face. Many have suggested that this was the beginning of a deliberate effort on

20

The Dardanelles Campaign, 1915

Churchill's part to mislead his colleagues as a means to get them committed to the campaign [Nos. 211, 265, 291, 371-72, 557]. George Cassar [No. 130] extends the charge of deception to Churchill's dealings with the French, suggesting that the Minister of Marine in Paris was taken in by Churchill and then misled his own colleagues so as to avoid responsibility for the Dardanelles plan. For an English Cabinet member to deliberately mislead his colleagues is a political sin of enormous magnitude, and Churchill seems unlikely to have gone so far. Tuvia Ben-Moshe, a harsh a critic of the First Lord, however, rejects the idea [No. 64]. Richard Hough's idea that Churchill's mix of sincerity, exuberance, and eloquence carried the Cabinet [No. 348], which is echoed by many [Nos. 96, 211, 216, 349, 555, 573, 602] seems more likely. Churchill's motives, of course, do not mean that his colleagues were not misled. Although a number suggest in their memoirs (see Chapter 2) that they must share the responsibility, several of their biographersMackay on Balfour [No. 459], Owen on Lloyd George [No. 555], Cassar on Kitchener [No. 131], and Bacon on Fisher [No. 39] for instance-suggest that they did believe that the attack was to be limited or portrayed as a demonstration should it go badly. In any case the First Lord was allowed to plunge ahead without restraint. Restraining Churchill was, of course, heavy work. Before the idea of forcing the Straits emerged, he had already ordered a bombardment of the Dardanelles shore forts, thereby possibly warning the Turks and dooming his own scheme [Nos. 145, 706]. Apparently aware of the danger of delay, Churchill was eager to get on with the effort. Stating that he was ready to employ, and lose if it came to that, quite a number of obsolescent pre-dreadnought capital ships, he framed a question to Admiral Carden about how the Straits might be forced, rather than whether doing so was a good idea. Carden allowed there was no hope of rushing the Straits but that they might be forced in a series of steps. With adequate firepower-he asked for fourteen battleships along with many other vessels-the outer and then the inner fortifications might be silenced, the minefields swept clean, and finally a squadron could force its way through to the Sea of Marmora and ultimately Constantinople. Churchill seized upon Carden's reply, and on January 28th the decision was finalized. This handling of Carden has drawn criticism. Although Admiral Henry Oliver, one of the Sea Lords, supported Carden's approach [No. 374], the First Lord is accused of manipulating Carden and ignoring his technical advisors [No. 349]. Gregory Paget [No. 558] has gone further suggesting that virtually all of the leadership, including Churchill, knew the plan was faulty, and the Sea Lords, as they had when the question of the effects of bombarding forts with naval guns had arisen, said little. They were more likely to whisper to one another about their hesitancies than to tell political leaders [Nos. 159, 211, 270, 347, 349, 478, 513, 602]. Three men were in positions to put a stop to the Dardanelles Campaign at the beginning or force the strategic thinking into more realistic patterns: Fisher, Kitchener, and Asquith. Admiral Sir John "Jackie" Fisher, the First Sea Lord, was popular if eccentric and widely respected for his work modernizing the Royal Navy

at the beginning of the century. The First Lord of the Admiralty had brought the septuagenarian Fisher out of retirement at the beginning of the war, and the two had a powerful if enigmatic bond. Fisher did favor the Eastern strategy but preferred an amphibious strike in the Baltic to other plans. Although like many he later proclaimed himself a foe of the Dardanelles idea from the beginning, in fact, he not only approved the idea but also proposed sending H.M.S. Queen Elizabeth, the newest of the super-dreadnoughts, to complete her gunnery trials by shelling the Turks. By the end of January, this enthusiasm was waning, and Fisher was increasingly opposed to the diversion of resources-now he even claimed that the pre-dreadnoughts were too valuable to risk. On January 28, having even taken his concerns to the Prime Minister, he started to walk out of a War Council meeting when his ideas were not put before the group. Kitchener stopped him, appealing to duty. Churchill's eloquence kept Fisher from resigning for several months, but his subsequent claim that he could not speak out because as a technical military advisor he was obligated to support his minister unless asked specifically for his views is disingenuous. Fisher was an inveterate intriguer who knew and used the game of political manipulation from the beginning of his career. Before he finally resigned in May, asserting that he had always opposed the Dardanelles campaign but had been overwhelmed by Churchillian eloquence, he used what today would be called "leaks" to help the Conservative Party leader Andrew Bonar Law force Asquith into a coalition government, formed May 26 [No. 146]. He was no naif, and historians have been too kind concerning his role in this situation. R. H. Bacon [No. 39] is part-icularly supportive, suggesting that Fisher believed the attack would be broken off if the initial stages failed and that the civilians in the War Council were at fault for not insisting on hearing his views. Richard Ollard [No. 551] blames Fisher's friendship and loyalty to Churchill for his hesitance. The First Sea Lord has, however, faced some criticism. Patrick Beesley [No. 60] asserts that Fisher was initially much more in favor of the project that is usually indicated—much as he proclaims himself in his memoirs [Nos. 232-33] which are generally so overstated that few credit them. Richard Hough [No. 349], though he faults Churchill more, regards the First Sea Lord's hesitance as inexcusable. Arthur Marder [No. 479] suggests that Fisher had clear information, which he failed to present to the War Council, early in February that troops would be needed. Fisher's own efforts to obscure his role [No. 232-33] and his attractive personality-tile most recent biography [No. 515], virtually a panegyric, barely mentions the Dardanelles-seem to have preserved his reputation. His involvement in the Dardanelles decisionmaking deserves more investigation. Ultimately Fisher's resignation doomed Churchill, who was relegated to the position of Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster in the coalition government, though he did keep his seat in the War Council (now renamed the Dardanelles Committee). Eventually he was forced out of the Cabinet entirely when Lloyd George replaced Asquith in 1916. With Churchill marginalized, the key strategic thinker and most enthusiastic supporter of the Dardanelles had little influence on the

22

The Dardanelles Campaign, 1915

latter half of the campaign. Thus the common tendency [Nos. 187, 211, 573, 602, 604] to blame Churchill for the whole of the ultimate failure is questionable. The other military member of the administration who could have effectively stopped or refocused the Dardanelles-and finally did so-was Herbert Horatio, Lord Kitchener, the Secretary of War. Kitchener was famed for his participation in colonial wars; he had led a relief force down the Nile in a vain attempt to relieve Charles "Chinese" Gordon at Khartom in 1885. Perhaps the best known of living English soldiers, he had been in London in August, 1914, and seemed both the inevitable and convenient choice for Secretary at War when the Liberal Government, hardly rife with martial leadership, faced the outbreak of World War I. Lloyd George compared his mind to a lighthouse-sometimes brilliantly piercing the darkness and at others utterly black. For instance, he was one of the few to predict that the war would last for several years rather than months, but in connection with the Dardanelles he only appears indecisive, and destructively so at that [No. 472]. Kitchener was delighted when Churchill broached the Dardanelles idea because he wanted to make a positive response to the Russian request that the Turks be drawn away from the Caucasus. For all his interest, however, he firmly maintained there were no troops available, and seemed~so some of his biographers assert [Nos. 131, 216]-to regard the plan as a naval operation. Then, perhaps because the invasion became very prominent in the press, he decided that defeat would so undermine the prestige of the empire (always his bailiwick heretofore), especially with Muslims, that the army would have to undertake whatever parts the navy could not accomplish [Nos. 131, 610]. Troops, it turned out, were available after all. Unfortunately, Kitchener never gave the Dardanelles top priority, so he made little effort to ensure that the campaign had what it really needed for tactical success. After several reversals of decision, he did send the 29th Division, the only regular army force not yet committed to the war, but the rest of the forces were inexperienced. Their leadership was not the best, and in the case of Frederick Stopford, a "dugout" (i. e., dug out of retirement) sent to head the Suvla landings, an absolute disaster [Nos. 405, 481-83, 508, 590, 605, 645, 668, 684]. At first Kitchener told the expedition commander, Ian Hamilton, that there would be no reinforcements, but when problems arose he sent some-always in penny packets. In the end, whatever chance there was for tactical success (See Chapter 1) was lost due to the lack of resources-human and materiel-and the fault for this must ultimately lie with Kitchener. That his failure to make a firm decision about the strategy of the Dardanelles was central to the tactical failure has been one of the two most common criticisms of Kitchener's policy [Nos. 21, 67, 162, 291, 319, 350, 423, 470, 472, 561, 600, 633]. He has been defended, however. Early biographers such as George Arthur [No. 20], C. R. Ballard [No. 264], and Victor Germains [No. 264] maintain that his hesitance reflected honest and legitimate concern about the needs of other fronts, and although such earlier works tend to be quite uncritical, Trevor Royle, writing in a very good 1985 study [No. 610], also defends his actions. The other common criticism of Kitchener regarding the Dardanelles is that he tried to handle too much

of the operation himself, ignoring his own staff. The result was delay and inconsistency, especially as information already known to many involved often reached him late and/or in incomplete form. The most effective analysis of this problem comes from George Cassar [No. 131], but John Gooch [No. 280], C. O. Head [No. 323], and Philip Magnus [No. 472] all concur. Although the recent works by Royle and Cassar concerning Kitchener improve our understanding of his performance as Secretary for War, more attention to his responsibility for the problems in the Dardanelles is certainly warranted. The third leader who could have significantly influenced Dardanelles planning was Herbert Henry Asquith, the Prime Minister. Asquith's technique for handling political questions was to allow the advocates of various positions to follow the dialectic, and when consensus or exhaustion made a decision convenient, he acted. Although this got him a reputation for dilatoriness, his leisurely pace did little harm in domestic matters and he proved an effective head of government. Decisions about military operations in war, however, must be quick, and Asquith was unable to adapt. Generally his biographers have concentrated on his role in domestic affairs and passed lightly over his lack of success as a war-leader [Nos. 96, 410]. George Cassar [No. 129], however, has systematically exposed his faults regarding the Dardanelles. He charges that Asquith was too concerned about papering over disputes, especially that between Fisher and Churchill, and that the Prime Minister was too deferential to Kitchener, whose opinion, though quite firm whenever expressed, changed from time to time. Cassar notes that Maurice Hankey, the Secretary of the War Cabinet, had warned Asquith (not to mention others) that the naval attack was unlikely to succeed but the cautions had been unheeded. Stephen Roskill [No. 605] makes the same point as does Hankey in his memoirs [No. 316]. Cassar's work should be consulted for any study the Dardanelles' strategy as should John Turner's work on wartime politics [No. 699] and Paul Guinn's study [No. 298] of the relationship of strategy and politics for background. All told then, the strategic thinking about the Dardanelles was dominated by Churchill initially, and later, once land operations were decided upon and Churchill's star was fading, by Kitchener. The debate over the practicality of the concept is extensive. Could the navy have carried the Straits and if so would its presence off Constantinople have caused the Ottoman government to sue for peace? Although modern scholars tend to be dubious on both counts [Nos. 114, 124, 270, 479, 580], Jeffrey Wallin [No. 717] argues vigorously that Churchill was entirely correct in his thinking and that the failures were entirely tactical. Henry Morgenthau [No. 513], the American ambassador in Constantinople, and Lewis Einstein [No. 208; see also 137, 252, 611], another American diplomat, asserted that the city was in a panic and the government preparing to flee at the mere suggestion in March that the Royal Navy was about to force the Straits. There has also been discussion of whether the Allies had the resources to supply Russian needs-even minimally-while continuing to build their own military presence in France. There was little virtue in diverting resources to opening a supply line over which little or nothing would pass. Some have also suggested that the surrender of

24

The Dardanelles Campaign, 1915

the Ottoman Empire would have done the Germans more good than harm. These commentators [Nos. 604, 693] have turned the argument of knocking the props from under Germany around: it was, they believe, Germany that was propping up her allies (German officers did speak of the Austrian alliance as being shackled to a corpse). These speculations, although fertile ground for ongoing historiographical controversy, must remain speculations, for they presume a victory that was not achieved. The tactical failure meant that none of the larger goals could be tested. It ultimately left final strategic considerations in the hands of the commanders on the scene, until the authorities in London resolved on evacuation.

4 Anzac Although this volume is intended to explore the military historiography of the Dardanelles Campaign, there are several reasons to examine the Australian-New Zealand involvement in the campaign separately and somewhat more broadly, though not exhaustively. The term Anzac was originally an acronym for Australian and New Zealand Army Corps, but it quickly was accepted as a word meaning a soldier of that corps and/or the area where elements of that corps landed on the Gallipoli peninsula. The speedy and universal acceptance of the neologism suggests the importance of the Anzac contribution, which is, perhaps, somewhat overplayed in the body of literature concerning the campaign. For Australians and New Zealanders the experience of Gallipoli became a nationalistic symbol. April 25, the day of the initial landings on the peninsula, is Anzac Day: a national holiday on which the independence and national identity of these nations is celebrated [Nos. 5, 217, 259-61, 362-65, 414, 559, 601, 697, 730]. There are novels [No. 68] and even accounts for school children [No. 154]. A recent television series [No. 95] and Peter Weir's 1981 film Gallipoli, starring popular Australian actor Mel Gibson, indicate its continuing importance. The film has become part of scholarly analysis of Australian nationalism and versions and analyses of the screenplay have been published [Nos. 95,261, 682]. Such views are not quite universal, however, for Humphrey McQueen [No. 471] and E. M. Andrews [No. 14] question the importance of the campaign as a factor in the growth of Australian national consciousness. Anzac Day is, in part, the equivalent of the Fourth of July in the United States, though the revolutionary overtones are lacking. Because of its nationalistic importance, Australian scholars have devoted an enormous amount of study to the campaign, which is a reason that isolating the Anzac experience as part of the Dardanelles historiography is useful. Good scholarship and nationalistic passion frequently provoke persuasive argument, and so Anzac scholarship has had significant influence on the general view of the situation. Too much influence some

26

The Dardanelles Campaign, 1915

maintain, especially regarding the military history of the campaign. For instance, when the British official historian suggested that there was significant straggling among Australian soldiers during the first days after the landing at Anzac Cove, Australians pressed for changes in his text [No. 683]. E. M. Andrews in The Anzac Illusion [No. 14] suggests that the importance of the Anzac contribution to the campaign has actually, been exaggerated, and Nigel Steel and Peter Hart in their Defeat at Gallipoli [No. 647] argue that the focus on the Anzac aspect minimizes the contribution made by the English troops, who were after all in the majority. Steel and Hart have attempted to redress this balance without seeking to deny due praise to Australians and New Zealanders who served with notable heroism and at great cost on Gallipoli. The common portrayal of men from the antipodes suggests they were unusual indeed. Physically superb specimens (especially in comparison to the stunted English), they were brave, self-sacrificing, and inclined to a haphazard, casual response to officers, reserving clear signs of respect for those who proved themselves effective. Although probably exaggerated in many accounts [Nos. 148, 158, 164, 221, 341, 490, 658 for instance], some of this was no doubt true. Australians greeted the outbreak of war in 1914 with a burst of loyalty to the mother country and some of the same enthusiasm that had European youth singing as they marched to the staging areas for their units. The war would allow them to show their mettle during the few months it would last, and so one must act quickly to get involved before it was over. Australians, often accustomed to a fairly rugged outdoor life, were more likely to be able to ride and shoot and to be physically fit than their counterparts in the British Isles. An attractive and typical example of the Anzac spirit is the tale of John Simpson Kirkpatrick, the man with the donkey [Nos. 69, 149]. Simpson, as he was known, was a stretcher bearer (or water carrier who undertook medical work on his own) who found a donkey and began using it to extract wounded soldiers from the front. Although killed early in the campaign, he developed a reputation for being able to walk unharmed through storms of enemy fire. His devotion to saving his mates became the epitome of Anzac self-sacrifice and casual disregard for danger. Central to the creation of the idea of the Anzac spirit was C.E.W. Bean [Nos. 381, 449], the official Australian correspondent and historian. Bean provided accounts of the experiences of Australian soldiers from enlistment to discharge. He was more likely than any other correspondent or historian to be in the thick of combat, and despite the occasional misstep~as when he criticized the poor discipline of Australians during training in Egypt-he was popular with the soldiers. Bean's writings [Nos. 51-56] lend support to the special nature of Australian soldiers, but the cornerstone of the whole concept comes from The Anzac Book [No. 494], a collection of prose, poetry, and art by Anzac soldiers collected and edited by Bean. D. A. Kent [No. 393] asserts Bean manipulated the material in The Anzac Book to create a particular image of Australian soldiers, omitting any account that portrayed the real suffering that the campaign produced. He also omitted any work

Anzac

27

that suggested a less than heroic role for soldiers and with only 150 submissions from 40,000 soldiers, his claim of representing the whole is dubious. Kent's interpretation has gotten much attention, but Denis Winter has demurred [No. 748]. Winter believes that like the books of Ellis Ashmead-Bartlett [No. 25] and John Masefield [No. 485] which helped establish the Anzac idea, The Anzac Book was produced within the confines of British propaganda control and censorship (the British authorities even added an item without Bean's knowledge) and that had Bean given a more realistic picture, his freedom to travel with the forces and access to information would certainly have been restricted. Winter criticizes Kent's use of sources and the thoroughness of his research, as well. John Robertson in ANZAC and Empire [No. 599] also rejects the idea that Bean created an Anzac myth, though without the sort of analysis of Bean's work that Winter offers. Scholars writing from the Anzac point-of-view have offered a number of other interpretations beyond mainstream ideas about the campaign. Writing about the prowess of New Zealanders, O. E. Burton [No. I l l ] suggests that the physical weakness of English soldiers contributed significantly to the final defeat of the Allies. Kevin Fewster [No. 227] indicates that Anzac soldiers often regarded their English counterparts as cowards because of their tendency not to rush into combat with abandon. Although expressions of Australian bitterness toward the British are not uncommon, Frank Legg, in his biography of Gordon Bennett [No. 423], an Australian officer, presents dramatic illustrations of Anzac bitterness over casualties and contempt for English leadership which had put them into a hopeless situation. There is also some discussion [Nos. 119, 564, 625, 639] about General John Monash, who became a very successful general and a favorite of David Lloyd George later in the war. Monash was a brigade commander on Gallipoli and is more often than not regarded as competent at his job. He has been spared criticism for problems, as he had little influence on strategic planning, of which he was critical [No. 506]. Although his role at Gallipoli was limited, his later prominence makes his earlier performance worthy of note. The literature concerning the rise of Australian national consciousness is more extensive than is indicated here. Because its relevance to the military history of the Dardanelles Campaign is limited to its influence on interpretations of military and political decisions, its inclusion has been accordingly constricted. The books and articles noted were selected to show that influence and not for their significance in Australian and/or New Zealand domestic history.

5 Conclusion: Who Was Responsible? The thought that there might be any credit due for performance in the Dardanelles Campaign has not crossed many minds. George Cassar subtitled his study of the French involvement in the campaign [No. 130] "A Study of Failure in the Conduct of War." Eliot Cohen and John Gooch use Gallipoli as an example in their book Military Misfortunes: The Anatomy of Failure in War [No. 150]. Robert Rhodes James [No. 372] and John Laffin [No. 413] find virtually nothing to praise. None of these scholars denies due credit for bravery to the soldiers and sailors who fought the campaign, but most of the few accounts that buck the current of opinion asserting that the campaign was an unremitting failure were written in the years shortly after the evacuation of the peninsula [Nos. 180, 278, 353, 501, 484] and seem more like works of public relations than scholarship. The arguments made generally concern the value of diverting and holding large numbers of enemy troops and so weakening the Ottoman Empire's forces that they could play only a minimal role in the rest of the war. At least one modern scholar, Geoffrey Till [No. 686; see also 484, 649], however, considers the campaign a military success. He believes that the campaign was an educational experience. The problems at the beginning reflect a lack of knowledge of amphibious operations since such operations had been rare in the past and had never been attempted with modern technology. He suggests that the campaign went better and better, culminating in the supremely successful withdrawal. Till's ideas are part of the recent revisionist theme regarding World War I generalship and strategic thinking. This new theme asserts the military response was from the outset reasonable and improved as the problems of modern warfare were increasingly well understood. His essay appears in a volume edited in part by Peter Liddle, who has made significant contributions to this revisionist view in a book concerning the Battle of the Somme. Still, most of the thinking about the campaign, old and new, regards it as a failure. The responsibility for that failure is widely distributed, however, amongst

various politicians, military men, and occasionally even the Turks (accounts from their side, of course, take a different view, though they agree that the Allies were beaten), or to some technical problem that was really beyond the control of all the people involved. Space prevents recounting every charge that has been made, for they are indeed legion. Outlining the patterns, though, will provide an understanding of the schools of historiography that have developed. The lightning rod for criticism of the Dardanelles Campaign has been Winston Churchill. The First Lord of the Admiralty was the driving force behind the concept, although it was not his first choice as an alternative to the Western Front and may have been first introduced by Hankey [Nos. 251,316]. Perhaps the worst criticism of Churchill is that he was a foolish amateur who by eloquence—some would say deliberately misleading eloquence—and passion driven by an egotistical lust for fame pressured his ideas into practice [Nos. 142, 211, 265,270, 602]. Most would not go that far, but many have argued that the concept for the campaign, which was mostly Churchill's, was faulty. Despite the claims of Henry Morgenthau [No. 513], the American ambassador at Constantinople, and others [Nos. 208, 661], about the virtual collapse of Ottoman government at just the possibility of Allied success in the naval attack of March, 1915, not everyone believes that the Turks would have given up even had the city fallen [Nos. 114, 124, 227]. It is also frequently asserted that the surrender of the Ottoman Empire would have significantly weakened the Germans, who were the core of the Central Powers and that the Germans, although unable to adequately supply the Turks during the Dardanelles campaign [No. 693], were actually more drained than helped by such allies [Nos. 142]. Some scholars, however, absolve Churchill and claim that had his concept been properly supported it would have been completely successful [Nos. 76, 84, 143, 251, 272, 350, 427, 513, 561, 594, 661, 688, 717 for instance]. There have also been a number of assertions that Churchill made other key mistakes that doomed the military effort. His order to shell the forts on Gallipoli in the very early months of the war presumably warned the Turks so that they upgraded their defenses [Nos. 145, 706]. On the other hand, some counter either that the Turks did not take action or failed to take heed of the possibility of such an attack [Nos. 139, 142, 251.]. The First Lord is also accused of overestimating the effect of naval guns on shore fortifications due to his observations of German reduction of forts in Belgium, by howitzers, the shells of which fall at a steep angle, unlike those of naval guns [Nos. 73, 193, 265, 270, 347, 349, 371]. Few defend him on this point, though the failure of technical advisors to speak up is offered as a mitigating factor [No. 159,211,270,291, 573]. Thus it is clear that Churchill has often been portrayed in may ways ranging from the evil genius responsible, virtually alone, for the entire disaster of the campaign through almost every degree of blame all the way to being characterized as a master of strategy whose excellent concept for escaping the deadly stalemate of France was sabotaged by the incompetence of others. The two professional military men serving at the highest levels of British government in the first years of the war, Admiral Sir John "Jackie" Fisher and

30

The Dardanelles Campaign, 1915

General Herbert Horatio Kitchener (Earl Kitchener of Khartoum), have also had to bear significant criticism and blame. Fisher is most often condemned for his failure to voice his growing doubts about the wisdom of the campaign [Nos. 347, 350, 573, 460, 602, 604]. His initial enthusiasm for the idea is sometimes downplayed, perhaps because of his own efforts to suggest he had always had doubts and his artless defense that as a technical advisor he could only speak when asked for his opinion [Nos. 347, 350, 573, 460, 602, 604]. His biographers tend to focus on his early career [Nos. 283, 375, 515], as the modernizer of the Royal Navy, and his degree of responsibility of the problems in the Dardanelles deserves more study. Kitchener, the Secretary for War in Asquith's Cabinet, has been the subject of more critical study and cannot hide behind the claim of not being in a political role. Kitchener's on-again-off-again approach to the Dardanelles Campaign has been central to the criticism of him [Nos. 21, 67, 291, 319, 350,423, 470, 600, 651]. He has been blamed for giving those responsible for making decisions about the campaign the idea that there could be no troops (or later, no more troops) and then sending them when the chips were down. This had the effect of confusing the planners, kept the overly diffident Hamilton from asking for what he needed, and resulted in the sending of forces in numbers too limited to carry the day [Nos. 32, 72, 114, 310, 428, 523]. Adequate forces could have been victorious on several occasions, according to some analysts [Nos. 25, 72, 314, 427-28, 523]. Kitchener too has his defenders, who assert that his hesitation was based on legitimate concern for the needs of other fronts, that he was misled by Churchill into thinking that the campaign would be primarily naval and abandoned if problems arose, and that he was trapped by publicity into making more of a commitment than he intended [Nos. 132, 247, 602]. Kitchener's role has been more analyzed than Fisher's, but there is not consensus among historians about his degree of responsibility. Among those whose role was not directly military there has been criticism of the Prime Minister (see Chapter 3) for not maintaining control and insisting that the various factions in the War Council sort out their differences and come to a consensus [Nos. 129, 132, 170]. More diffuse charges~or perhaps more accurately implications-have emerged that British diplomatic forces were concerned about promises to Russia that she could have Constantinople and the straits once victory was achieved [Nos. 28, 104, 235, 293, 396,457, 534, 620, 636, 716]. Writers from Russia [Nos. 104] and Australia [No. 95] and England [No. 28] have suggested that the poor handling of arrangements for the campaign reflected a desire to avoid yielding control of Constantinople to the Tsar. The Russian also claims that the Russian navy was fully prepared to launch a supporting attack at Constantinople from the Black Sea but the request from London and Paris never came [No. 104], though British sources tend to argue that such an effort, if possible at all, was to come only once the Straits were forced. These speculations remain out of the mainstream of historiography, but they would be an explosive element if ever positively confirmed. Another school of thought, while it does not necessarily absolve politicians from blame, is more critical of the officers who conducted the operations. General Sir

Ian Hamilton was a professional soldier with a good reputation and, on the surface, not a bad choice to command the expedition. His critics, however, suggest that he was old-fashioned in his insistence that the officer on the scene be allowed to make decisions without interference. He was also more inclined to scholarly contemplation than to an active role in command. They point out his failures to require the reinforcement of success during the initial landings on April 25 and to intervene during the Suvla landing in August when it became clear that his goal of seizing the high ground and pushing quickly across the peninsula was being abandoned [Nos. 29, 75, 187, 266, 268, 372, 412, 481-82, 508, 546, 590]. The latter was the responsibility of General Sir Frederick Stopford, chosen on the basis of seniority (at Kitchener's insistence) and clearly beyond his capabilities [Nos. 169, 412, 590]. Although Hamilton's plans for both the initial and Suvla landings have been praised [Nos. 314,422, 508, 590, 633] there is no consensus concerning the likelihood of success had the tactical commanders, who come in for their share of criticism also [Nos. 144,428,433, 747, 751], followed them exactly. As in the case of the politicians, the student of the campaign is left unsure whether the failure was the result of a totally unrealistic expectation or of individual failures in the effort to carry out a workable concept. One element in the entire situation, often ignored, at least in the English accounts, is the quality of the defense. The British are sometimes criticized for a racist assumption that the defenders would be inept [Nos. 227, 247-48, 251, 371, 627], and although sometimes the effectiveness of the defense is credited to German influences, it is clear that planners did not give adequate weight to the abilities of their foes. In the years since the campaign respect for Mustapha Kemal has grown substantially [Nos. 30, 178, 249,403,456,499, 518, 549, 554, 705, 712, 723], and the soldiers on the scene quickly came to respect Johnny Turk and to regard him as a dangerous and tenacious but honorable foe [No. 627]. Accounts by German officers who served with the Turkish forces make the same point [Nos. 390, 579, 615]. Perhaps the definitive assessment of the Dardanelles Campaign will never be written. It certainly has not been yet. The most interesting element in the current historiography arises from the tendency to find elements to praise in World War I generalship, presenting the question of how far that trend will go in regard to this campaign. In the meantime, the pattern of blaming and defending various significant participants seems likely to continue.

Arthur argues that Kitchener was a Westerner but supported operations outside of France as ways to win new allies and ensure security of imperial interests in the East. Kitchener also always expected that the navy would carry the burden of the Dardanelles, and the accusation of the Dardanelles Committee that he gave up that hope by May is in error. His repeated hesitance first to commit troops followed by dispatch of reinforcements reflected legitimate concerns about the situation on other fronts.

Ashley, Maurice. Churchill as Historian. London: Martin Seeker and Warburg, 1968. Ashley evaluates Churchill's World Crisis as more an effort to explain for posterity than to write history, but he generally agrees with the explanation. Ashley is firm that the party truly responsible for the failure at the Dardanelles was Kitchener.

Ashmead-Bartlett, Ellis. Ashmead-Bartlett's Despatches From the Dardanelles. London: George Newnes, 1916. Ashmead-Bartlett's work as a newspaper man, though opinionated, had influence on public perceptions and on the government. Reading his accounts can help with understanding the changing attitudes about the Dardanelles Campaign.

Ashmead-Bartlett, Ellis. The Uncensored Dardanelles. London: Hutchinson, 1928. Ashmead-Bartlett denounces command-control failures at all levels and faults Hamilton's strategic planning as completely unrealistic. Troops were slaughtered in frontal assaults that even if successful could not change the Turkish dominance. He also faults government for not providing adequate manpower and supplies.

The Dardanelles Campaign, 1915 Churchill gets off pretty easily except for not being realistic about what was needed and what could be done. Keyes gets good marks, though author does not think the navy could have forced the Straits. The book is important for Ashmead-Bartlett's personal account of his uncensored letter criticizing the campaign, smuggled back to Europe by Australian Keith Murdock but seized at Marseilles by the War Department. Asquith confirmed that such a letter sent privately to the P. M. was acceptable and eventually saw it. The author ultimately managed to publish his views on the situation in the Sunday Times and to spread his critical attitude to influential sorts like Northcliffe, which helped prompt the decision to evacuate.

Ashworth, Tony. Trench Warfare, 1914-1918: The Live and Let Live System. New York: Holmes and Meier, 1980. Although Ashworth's analysis of soldiers' efforts to find ways to survive in the trenches is mostly focused on the Western Front, he does make some interesting comments about the lack of unofficial truces during the fighting on Gallipoli. He attributes this difference from the situation in France to the relative inexperience of the Gallipoli troops.

Aspinall-Oglander, C. F. History of the Great War Based on Official Documents. Military Operations: Gallipoli. 2 Vols. London: William Heinemann, 1929-32. The official history of the campaign, this volume has much detail—some of which is hard to find in other published sources. The author supports the Churchillian idea that the fighting on the Western Front was futile and praise the effort to find an alternative. Citing German accounts such as Liman von Sanders' memoir, he suggests that the original naval attack as well as the landings in April and August came very close to success.

28.

Aspinall-Oglander, Cecil. Roger Keyes: Being the Biography of Admiral of the Fleet Lord Keyes ofZeebrugge and Dover. London: Hogarth, 1951. Keyes believed to the bitter end that the navy could force the Straits ifjust given vigorous leadership and a free hand. This biography provides a good account of Keyes' and the navy's activity in the campaign, but the author is conservative in his evaluation of Keyes' ideas, and suggests that success was unlikely. He does indicate that there was some chance in March, and suggests that the failure to renew the attack really arose from hesitance about letting Russia have Constantinople if it were to be taken rather than any military consideration.

Atkinson, C. T. The History of the Royal Hampshire Regiment. 2 Vols. Winchester: Regimental Head Quarters, 1952. Several battalions of the Royal Hampshires served at Gallipoli: the 2nd with the 29th Division, the l/8th with the 54th (East Anglican) Division, and the 10th (Service) with the 10th (Irish) Division. Atkinson provides some details about the activities of these units.

Atkinson, C. T. The History of the South Wales Borderers, 1914-1918. London: Medici Society, 1931. Serving in the 29th Division, the South Wales Borderers landed at S Beach in the initial attack on Gallipoli. The landing went well, but lack of reserves prevented exploitation. They took part in the fighting at Krithia and later the Suvla landing. Atkinson, who wrote a number of unit histories, provides a good account of the fighting and eventual withdrawal, providing more context than is common in such works.

Bacon, R. H. The Life ofLord Fisher ofKilverstone: Admiral of the Fleet. 2 Vols. London: Hodder and Stoughton, 1929. Bacon defends Fisher over the Dardanelles question, pointing out that the admiral's early support was predicated on prompt action and a willingness to break off if things went badly. He criticizes the civilian government for not insisting that professionals speak for the military and allowing Churchill, a civilian, to do so. Bacon is particularly hard on Churchill for misleading his colleagues about support for the Dardanelles at the Admiralty and about the value of the older ships that might be lost. Fisher was right, according to Bacon, most of the time in this situation, and the War Council should have taken the responsibility to request his analysis.

Barrow, George. The Life of General Sir Charles Carmichael Monro. London: Hutchinson, 1931. Monro, who was sent late in 1915 to make a report about the advisability of evacuating Gallipoli once and for all, was a Westerner and regarded the Dardanelles Campaign as "illconsidered and ill-prepared." He recommended evacuation of Suvla and Anzac, and Barrow gives him much credit for the successful withdrawal. Churchill remarked, "He came, he saw, he capitulated," but Barrow contrasts the mercurial, brilliant, impractical politician unfavorably with the solid, dependable soldier.

Bean, C.E.W. The Official History of Australia in the War of 1914-1918: The Story ofAnzac. 2 Vols. Sydney: Angus and Robertson, 1921-24. These are the first two volumes of twelve in the official history. Bean's work is the best of the official histories of World War I. He sets his detailed account into context and despite his fondness for the Anzac soldiers, provides a balanced account. He does condemn politicians and high com-mand for putting men into a hopeless situation.

Bean, who was a journalist on the scene and became a superior historian, provides some insight into the thinking of the Australian command at Gallipoli. White (Bridges was killed during the campaign.) was critical of poor preparation, and although he approved of the goals, he criticized Churchill's involvement because the First Lord was not able to supply the operation with what it needed.

He provides a view of the problems for the smaller ships in the operation and offers the opinion that the navy could have forced the Straits had the original assault been renewed. Ultimately poor planning and irresolution doomed the whole enterprise.

Ben-Moshe, Tuvia. Churchill: Strategy and History. Hemel Hempstead: Harvester Wheatshaft, 1992. Provides an assessment of Churchill's role in strategy making and suggests that his belief in moving through the offensive in a series of stages and his haste did much to block the adoption of a combined arms approach. Nonetheless, Churchill did not intend to mislead the War Council about the need for troops, and the military authorities must take a significant share of the blame for the problems since they failed to do obvious preparation and planning. Ben-Moshe thinks that on the one hand there has been too much focus on Churchill in this situation, but that his reputation from World War II has biased most efforts to assess his involvement in the first war. He also notes that the strategic impact of defeat in the Dardanelles was minimal, but it is usually treated as if it were the reverse.

65.

Ben-Moshe, Tuvia. "Churchill's Strategic Conception During the First World War." Journal of Strategic Studies 12(1989): 5-21. Churchill's goal was total victory, but if his strategy of 1915 had been fully followed, the Allied victory of 1918 would have been impossible.

Benn, Wedgewood. In the Side Shows. London: Hodder and Stoughton, 1919. This memoir by an officer of the Middlesex Yeomanry (2nd Mounted Division) takes up the story of the Gallipoli campaign ten days after the Suvla landing. Benn describes the attack of August 21, which

The Dardanelles Campaign, 1915 was to move through Anafarta and reach the narrows on the other side of the peninsula. In the event, the first objective, W Hill, was not obtained. Benn provides a good description of the fighting, mostly on Chocolate Hill where brush fires added to the casualties caused by heavy Turkish fire. After a rest, his unit held trenches during the fall, and Benn describes conditions in the field. He was evacuated with dysentery in October.

Bennett, Geoffrey. Naval Battles of the First World War. London: Batsford, 1968; rpt. 1983. Bennett believes that Churchill had the right strategy in his plan for the Dardanelles and that success would have been very a valuable gain in the struggle against Germany. Unfortunately, Fisher and Kitchener did not have the heart to stay the course and delays which they helped produce were fatal to the enterprise.

Bigwood, George. The Lancashire Fighting Territorials. London: Country Life, [1916]. Bigwood has organized his narrative by following the activities of each battalion of the Lancashires, which tends to make the volume choppy and episodic. He does provide details of combat at Helles and defends the soldiers against charges of failure due to inexperience. Bigwood blames poor planning, ineffective leadership, and the lack of replacements for the defeat. Reinforcing existing units would have allowed experienced men to help newcomers. Instead old

Birdwood, William. Khaki and Gown: An Autobiography. London: Ward, Lock , 1941. Birdwood was commander of Australian troops in the Dardanelles Campaign. He made more of an effort to be in the front lines than most general officers and provides an interesting account of the situation. He seems inclined to think that the campaign came close to success and blames failure at Suvla on the failure of the commanders to give the troops a sense of urgency.

Birkenhead, Earl of. Churchill, 1874-1922. London: Harrap, 1989. Birkenhead is very supportive of Churchill, calling the Dardanelles "a brilliant strategic conception squandered." He is inclined to take Churchill's justifications at face value and refers to Fisher's resignation as "desertion." He argues strongly that Keyes' plans for use of destroyers for mine sweeping would have worked and that the naval assault should certainly have been renewed.

Guiness arrived at Gallipoli October 13, missing most of the fighting, but he provides a good picture of the final days of the campaign and the suffering of the troops due to the poor weather. He also makes clear his distaste for the staff work done by those assigned to the Dardanelles.

Broad, Lewis. Winston Churchill. London: Hutchinson, 1941; rev. eds. 1946 and 1951. Broad largely exonerates Churchill from blame for the Dardanelles problems. The land elements of the campaign were outside his control, and the delays that caused much of the difficulty for the naval attack were due to others. He pictures Fisher as piqued due to his advice not being taken, and also suggests that the campaign would have occurred even if Fisher had made his objections clear to all because of the need to help Russia.

Brock, Michael and Eleanor Brock, eds. H. H. Asquith, Letters to Venetia Stanley. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1982. The selection of letters presented in this volume makes Asquith seem better informed and more astute in his handling of the Dardanelles than is often suggested. He was quite wrong to agree to the "ships alone" idea, but that was due to Churchill's influence. After that he was quite right in not calling the War Council because doing so would exacerbate the tension between Fisher and Churchill, of which he was quite aware. Furthermore decisions from March to May had to be made by the military commanders on the scene. Asquith really favored renewal of the naval attack after the disappointments of March 18th but believed that a second attack should not be ordered from London.

The Silent Division: New Zealanders at the Front, 19141919. Sydney: Angus and Robertson, 1935. Burton traces the activity of New Zealand troops from the beginning of the war to its end. His coverage of the Dardanelles is detailed and good. He is inclined, however, to blame much of the failure of the campaign on the physical deficiencies of the English soldier, especially in comparison with the typical New Zealander. 112. Burton, Ormond Edward. The Auckland Regiment; Being an Account of the Doings on Active Service of the First, Second and Third Battalions of the Auckland Regiment. Auckland: Whitcombe and Tombs, 1922. A battalion of the Auckland Regiment served in the New Zealand Infantry Brigade at Anzac. 113. Bush, Eric W. Bless Our Ship. London: George Allen and Unwin, 1958. Bush was a teenaged midshipman on H.M.S. Bacchante in 1915 and commanded a picket boat in the landings at Anzac in April and Suvla in August. His account focuses on personal experiences but does note that he was unaware of landing troops at the wrong place in April. He also gives interesting details of supply efforts and of efforts to evacuate the wounded. 114. Bush, Eric W. Gallipoli. London: Allen and Unwin, 1975. Bush was a youthful midshipman pulled out of Royal Naval College at Dartmouth to serve on H.M.S. Bacchante and his book is a mix of memoir and history. He notes failure to supply adequate forces. He is firm in his view that the naval assault should have been promptly continued after the initial attack on March 18. Churchill, Bush believes, was blocked by Fisher, who did, however, have a case. He blames the Royal Navy for landing the Anzacs a mile north of the planned beach, and sneers at military leaders and historians—such as Julian Corbett the Official Historian—for suggesting that it was due to current or was only a few yards. He says it was poor navigation. OfthebigpushonMay 6, Bush comments mostly on the confusion and the crowded formations that led to slaughter. The August offensive failed for similar reasons. He asserts that there is now general agreement that the idea of the Dardanelles campaign "was one of the few great strategic concepts of World War I." The problem was poor planning and conduct. He

criticizes the lack of planning for success and raises the question of whether the Turks would surrender, though he cites Morgenthau as saying they would. Turkish success did much for their morale. He claims that naval gunfire was ineffective because the ships were too far away to aim and that destroyers were initially told not to fire in support of troops on shore. 115. Butler, A. G. The Gallipoli Campaign. Vol. 1, Part 1, The Australian Army Medical Services in the War of 1914-1918. Melbourne: Australian War Memorial, 1930. Butler traces the activities of the medical services step by step through the campaign providing interesting details of both combat injuries and the illnesses that were serious problems for troops at Gallipoli. 116.

An Otago battalion served in the New Zealand Brigade at Gallipoli and was part of the fighting at Anzac. 117. C [Viscount Cobham]. The Yeomanry Cavalry of Worcestershire, 19141922. Sourbridge: Mark and Moody, 1926. This unit first fought at Suvla, August 21, 1915, and then spent three months in the Gallipoli trenches before returning to Egypt. The account is well-written and provides useful a description of battle planning. It also has good illustrations. 118. Callahan, Raymond. "What About the Dardanelles?" American History Review 78(1973): 641-48. In this review essay about the Dardanelles Campaign, the author suggests that Martin Gilbert was not entirely fair in his criticisms of Churchill's role and that Fisher was the main negative force. The best account, he indicates, would be a combination of the works of Gilbert, A. J. Marder, and David French. 119. Callinan, Bernard. Sir John Monash. Carlton, Vic: Melbourne University Press, 1981. This work, actually a pamphlet, devotes only a brief section to Monash's service at Gallipoli. The author does, however, defend Monash against some of the criticisms~that he was not well suited for tactical command for instance-leveled against him in the Australian official history. 120. Callwell, C. E. The Dardanelles. London: Constable, 1919; rpt. 1924. Callwell argues that the demands of other theaters prevented adequate resources from being provided for Gallipoli but does not suggest that the invasion was a mistake. He is particularly interested in amphibious

50

The Dardanelles Campaign, 1915 tactics and provides a good description of the landings and evacuation. He concludes that better planning and more study of such tactics were needed. As he does not think that combat on the peninsula offers important lessons about war, he gives it less coverage.

121. Callwell, C. E. Experiences of a Dugout, 1914-1918. London: Constable, 1920. Callwell, who had served as Director of Military Operations, wrote a paper outlining the problems of military action against the Hellespont in 1906. His report was not discussed during the initial planning of the Dardanelles, although Asquith presented it to the War Cabinet in May, 1915. Callwell wrote a memorandum opposing the initial proposal for the Campaign by Churchill, but without effect. Not surprisingly he is quite critical of the whole operation. He also defends the lack of strategic preparation by asserting that the General Staff was eclipsed during Kitchener's tenure at the War Office. 122. Callwell, C. E. Field Marshal Sir Henry Wilson: His Life and Diaries. 2 Vols. London: Cassell, 1927. Wilson, first liaison to the French command and later Chief of the Imperial General Staff, thought that if the navy could succeed at the Dardanelles Britain's cause would be furthered. But he was convinced that final victory would come only from the Western Front, and troops would be wasted in any effort other than killing Germans. 123. Campaign des Dardanelles.

"Souvenirs de I'Armee d'Orient." [Memoirs of the Army in the East] Revue des Deux Mondes 4 (Avril, 1970): 120-134.

Souvenirs de la Guerre en Orient, 1915-1917. [Memoirs of the War in the East, 1915-1917.] Paris: Hachette, 1970.

Published in England as Winston Churchill as I Knew Him, this biography provides a personal perspective on Churchill's feelings and behavior, but the author accepts quite uncritically his sometimes self-serving accounts of events in the Dardanelles Campaign. 128. Carder, Raymond, and Jean-Pierre Cartier. La premiere Guerre Mondiale. [The First World War.] 2 Vols. Paris: Presses de la cite, 1982-84. These volumes are a solid survey of the war with two chapters devoted to the Dardanelles. 129. Cassar, George H. Asquith as War Leader. London: Hambledon Press, 1994. In a detailed account of decision making, Cassar is hard on Asquith concerning the Dardanelles. Asquith was too dominated by Kitchener and should not have hidden the dispute between Fisher and Churchill. Although he told the Dardanelles Committee otherwise, Asquith knew from Hankey and other sources that a purely naval assault was unlikely to succeed, but it cannot be denied that Churchill led the War Council into error, and politically Asquith could see little hope other than the Dardanelles due to the less than positive military developments of late 1914 and early 1915. 130. Cassar, George H. The French and the Dardanelles: A Study of Failure in the Conduct of War. London: George Allen and Unwin, 1971. The author tends to blame the politicians more than the military, and suggests that Churchill's persuasive power got French cooperation, especially that of the Minister of Marine, who kept the rest of his government in the dark so that if there was trouble he could blame it on Churchill. The two allies never cooperated about planning the Dardanelles and were often at odds over command and influence in the Middle East. 131. Cassar, George H. Kitchener: Architect of Victory. London: William Kimber, 1977. Cassar provides a very detailed description of the decisionmaking process concerning the Dardanelles and Kitchener's involvement in it. He tends to be favorable to Kitchener, who accepted Churchill's ideas without realizing that publicity would commit the government to continue the campaign no matter what. He believes that, intentionally or not, Churchill misled his colleagues, and Churchill was most seriously at fault, although the War Council did have other sources of

52

The Dardanelles Campaign, 1915 information and still did nothing. Kitchener's failures came from trying to do too much rather than using the General Staff, so that policy regarding the Dardanelles shifted too often. Ultimately, for the Dardanelles Campaign to be successful there had to be actual ministerial control of the military and it had to have adequate resources devoted to it. Neither of these was the case.

Charmley is quite critical of Churchill, suggesting that he was little less than Pollyanna-like in his disregard of the practical difficulties in the military schemes he frequently advocated. He also suggests that Churchill so convinced himself of his own correctness that he did not care to hear counter views and rode roughshod over those who expressed them. In Charmley's view the Dardanelles Campaign and its failure were fully Churchill's fault. 143. Charrusse, P. "Le Forcement des Dardanelles (18 Mars 1915) ou I'Occasion Manque." [The Forcing of the Dardanelles (March 18, 1915) or the Missed Chance.] Revue Maritime (1966); 1263-80. Having virtually forced the Ottoman Empire into German arms, the Entente, at Churchill's urging, sought to force the Straits by naval force, only to back off when success was in sight. The failure prolonged the war by at least two years. 144. Chattaway, T. P. History of the 15th Battalion, Australian Imperial Forces. Brisbane: W. Brooks, 1948. The author describes the 15th's efforts fighting at Anzac, making a point of problems with illness which he thinks John Monash failed to handle effectively. 145. Chatterton, E. Keble. Dardanelles Dilemma: The Story of the Naval Operations. London: Rich and Cowan, 1935. Chatterton's analysis suggests that the initial failure in the Dardanelles arose from not using combined arms from the outset and giving up surprise due to the initial bombardment. The second came from not realizing that the ships would be exposed to unacceptable enemy fire even before reaching the narrow parts of the Straits. The third was due to withdrawing major vessels in the face of U-boats and not giving adequate support to the Suvla landing. Although his conclusions are not unusual, Chatterton's clear picture

146. Churchill, Winston S. i(Lord Fisher and His Biographer." In Great Contemporaries. London: Thornton Butterworth, 1937; rpt. 1990. Although he professes respect and affection for Fisher and his biographer, Reginald Bacon, Churchill indicts both for ingratitude. He also asserts that Fisher was dishonorable by having contact with opposition leaders and failing to live up to his commitments to the Dardanelles plan and the government for which he worked. 147. Churchill, Winston S. The World Crisis. 5 Vols. London: Thornton Butterworth, 1923-29; numerous rpts. Churchill's central role in the conception and planning of the Dardanelles Campaign makes his account particularly significant. It is clear that he wrote with an eye to minimizing his own responsibility for the problems of the campaign, but he provides details of his own ideas about the strategy that are vital for understanding both strategy and tactics. He argues that he always realized that combined arms would work best, but when Kitchener (Churchill is very critical of his colleague) said no troops could be spared, the Admiralty~not he alone-prepared a plan using expendable ships without land support. Delays that let the Turks prepare were not of his making. Churchill's account should be read in conjunction with Robin Prior's analysis [No. 580]. 148. Cobber, Lance Corporal. The ANZAC Pilgrim's Progress: Ballads of Australia's Army. Edited by A. St. John Adcock. London: Simpkin, Marshall, Hamilton, and Kent, n. d. This little book of poetry gives its reader a strong sense of the spirit of the men of Anzac, making the myth seem powerfully real. 149. Cochrane, Peter. Simpson and the Donkey: The Making of a Legend. Carlton, Vic: Melbourne University Press, 1992. Simpson was an Anzac water carrier, who, using his donkey, rescued many wounded soldiers. Cochrane tells his story and looks at its development as a myth in Australian folklore. 150. Cohen, Eliot A., and John Gooch. Military Misfortunes: The Anatomy of Failure in War. New York: The Free Press, 1990. The authors argue that military failure arises from failing to learn, failing to anticipate, and failing to adapt and that catastrophic failure results from combinations of these flaws. The Gallipoli invasion provides their example of an army failing to adapt to unanticipated problems. 151. Coindreau, R. "Souvenirs des Dardanelles." [Memoirs of the Dardanelles.]

Collett, H. B. The 28th. A Record of War Service with the A. I. F., 19151919. Perth: N. P., 1922. The author was a battalion commander and arrived at Gallipoli in early September. Although most of the major offensive action had already occurred when he landed, his descriptions of the impact of the winter weather and the evacuation make this a valuable book for the study of the Dardanelles Campaign. 153. Collier, Basil. Brasshat: A Biography of Field-Marshal Sir Henry Wilson. London: Seeker and Warburg, 1961. Wilson was an influential Westerner, and thought the Dardanelles idea was little short of crazy. He suggests that Kitchener was really forced into supporting the scheme, and although he became a little more moderate later, his biographer maintains this was really just the adaptation of a staff officer in a new job (Wilson eventually became Chief of the Imperial General Staff). 154.

The decision to send submarines to the Dardanelles was pressed on the Admiralty by Churchill and Roger Keyes, but the effort was too little too late in that campaign. The subs did help restore the prestige of the navy, putting on so much pressure that German commander Liman von Sanders said that had it been done sooner and expanded, the Turks would have been forced to yield. Compton-Hall's account is popular and lacks references. 156. Condliffe, J. B. Te Rangi Hiroa: The Life of Sir Peter Buck. Christchurch: Whitcombe and Tombs, 1971.

The official British naval history, filled with detail of operations but less than incisively critical as far as British activities are concerned. The Dardanelles Campaign is discussed in the first two volumes. Although they agree that the strategy was valid, the authors are critical of Churchill, and insist that the professional naval officers at the Admiralty knew the plan was flawed from the beginning. 160.

Winston Churchill: The Era and the Man. New York: Harper and Brothers, 1953. This is a popular but full account concluding that a combined arms approach from the first would have been successful in driving Turkey out of the war and convincing Bulgaria not to join the Central Powers. Kitchener's vacillation about the commitment of troops and de Robeck's refusal to carry on the naval assault were key elements in the defeat of the British. Cowles, apparently without the thought that such decisions are likely to be politically motivated, argues that the failure of the Dardanelles Commission to charge Churchill with misconduct is evidence that he committed none. 163.

A History of the Great War. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1934; 2nd ed. 1936. In one of the best accounts of the war, Crurtwell notes the vagueness of the plan for the Dardanelles Campaign, especially the failure to define success or failure and the foolishness of allowing seniority to force Ian Hamilton to accept General Stopford, who proved to lack the drive necessary to force his officers to act with dispatch. He also comments on some tactical errors but does not make any definitive assignment of blame for the campaign's failure. 170. Crurtwell, C.R.M.F. The Role of British Strategy in the Great War. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1936. Crurtwell asserts that a campaign in the East in 1915 had real potential because, as has become known, the Central Powers were committed to a drive against Russia, which the Allies knew after May 2. He believes that an attack on the Danube would have been better than the Dardanelles Campaign, but the latter could have made a difference in the Balkans and possibly helped Russia. The failure was due to the Cabinet's indecisiveness, which left the French in a position to insist on continuing the main effort in France.

Simpson, who used his donkey to rescue numerous wounded Anzacs during the early part of the fighting on Gallipoli, became a hero and symbol of the Anzac effort in the campaign. Works concerning him provide information about the fighting, but are more important for discussion of the nationalist impact of Gallipoli in Australia. 174. Currey, E. H. How We Kept the Sea.

He wished to hold troops in reserve against such contingencies, but Churchill's enthusiasm carried the War Council and Cabinet in favor of the Dardanelles. Warnings from earlier studies and from Hankey were ignored, and Kitchener told Churchill that men would be found if the fleet got through the Straits. 217. Evans, Raymond.

London: Hodder and Stoughton, n. d. Ewing, a chaplain, was at Gallipoli, but he makes little distinction between what he saw and what he got from other sources.

He is critical of the Suvla operation and argues that Hamilton should have been on the scene. 227. Fewster, Kevin, Vecihi Basarin, and Hatice Hurmuz Basarin. A Turkish View of Gallipoli. Richmond: Hodja, n. d. Although the source material, other than accounts by Germans serving with the Turks, is not heavily Turkish in origin, this book does provide an unusual perspective in a survey of the entire campaign. In contrast to many European accounts, the authors argue that the Turks had adequate munitions to carry on the fight if the naval assault of March 18th had been renewed. They also assert that the planning for the Suvla landing in August underestimated the potential for counterattack, despite adequate intelligence and painful experience, and they claim that the British assumed that once the high ground was taken the resistance would end. There is little basis for the latter assumption, and it was foolish to create a situation in which failure anywhere meant overall failure. 228.

Gammage, Bill. The Broken Years: Australian Soldiers in the Great War. Canberra: Australian National University Press, 1974.

Germains attacks Churchill, strongly insisting that despite his success as a peacetime minister, he was an amateur who failed to understand that the only important naval objective was the destruction of the German fleet. He has little good to say for Churchill, who Germains claims misjudged the effectiveness of naval guns against forts, was overly willing to sacrifice older ships that were really needed for security, lost the chance at surprise, and misled his colleagues to get support for the operation.

The maps are clear and easily read. 270. Gilbert, Martin. The Challenge of War, 1914-1916. Vol. 3, Winston Churchill. Boston: Houghton Mifflin, 1971. Gilbert refutes the idea that Churchill was obsessed with attacking Turkey, and insists that the November, 1914, bombardment was not rash because the enemy already knew an attack was likely. He also points out that none of the professional naval officers at the Admiralty raised technical questions such as the problem of using naval guns against forts, when Churchill proposed his plan. Such questions were the job of the technical advisors not of the First Lord. Gilbert argues, then, that Churchill was on solid ground until Kitchener refused to send the 29th Division in February and at that point should have withdrawn his support from the whole operation. He believes that Churchill changed his mind about the likely success of an unsupported naval operation, but was so desperate for action that he continued to push for the attack even when it was clear that any significant success was unlikely. Churchill really believed that once through the Dardanelles the navy could force Turkish surrender and even after the naval assault was not renewed that proper reinforcement could win the day. 271.

Gilbert, Martin. Churchill: A Life. London: William Heinemann, 1991. Martin, the official biographer of Churchill, provides here a valuable one volume account of his subject's career.

The Dardanelles Campaign, 1915 justify actions and decisions of the government. Although these are often convenient ways to get access to official records, it must be remembered that they are not balanced accounts. The Commission's conclusions were that the campaign failed due to the lack of surprise, the risks of failure outweighed the chances of success, the initial investigation of the situation was inadequate, success would have required that the major concentration of British force be shifted from France.

Gretton, Peter. Former Naval Person: Winston Churchill and the Royal Navy. London: Cassell, 1968. In this broad study of Churchill's influence on the British navy, Gretton tends to support the idea that had a variety of people handled planning and tactical matters more effectively the Dardanelles would either never have been begun or would have succeeded. He believes that Churchill misled the War Council about the Sea Lords' degree of support for his ideas, but maintains that Kitchener's imperious and sometimes uninformed control and Fisher's failure to speak out in the beginning were worse faults.

Twenty-five Years, 1892-1916. New York: Frederick A. Stokes, 1925. Grey, the Foreign Secretary, recalls the Dardanelles being accepted by the War Council as a naval operation that would be called off in case of failure and says that the blame for allowing publicity to result in a larger commitment must be shared by all involved. Of the campaign, he notes that it almost succeeded and needs no more defense. Concerning the possibility of Greek involvement in the campaign, Grey insists that to accept such help would have caused much trouble with Russia, perhaps even driving the Tsar out of the war. It was the Dardanelles Campaign, Grey asserts that resulted in the reluctant Anglo-French agreement that Russia might have Constantinople after the war. 294. Grey, W.

Admiral John De Robeck took command of the Dardanelles fleet, due to the illness of Admiral Carden, just before the March attempt to force the Straits. He was central in making the decision to wait for a landing by the army before renewing the effort after the losses in the first attack. The editor of this volume suggests that his caution was appropriate. The papers provided

Keyes was consistently an advocate of using a naval squadron to force the Dardanelles, even trying to get one last opportunity while the decision to abandon the campaign was being taken. His papers provide an account of the campaign from the perspective of the naval high command on the scene and are, perhaps, the best source for an understanding of his view. 305.

Halpern, Paul G. A Naval History of World War I. Annapolis: Naval Institute Press, 1994. Halpern's survey is both well researched and well written. He does an excellent job of setting the Dardanelles Campaign into the context of the naval conflict.

previously good reputation suffered due to the failure in Gallipoli. He believed strongly in the concept of the campaign. His diary provides much detail about his planning and actions in the campaign, but after the fashion of published diaries, tends to hold the author blameless for difficulties. His bitterness about London's failure to provide adequate manpower and logistical support for the campaign is clear. 311. Hamilton, Ian. Ian Hamilton's Final Despatches. London: George Newnes, 1916. Although Hamilton was not always forthright in his reports, knowledge of the commanding officer's official positions is very important in the study of the Dardanelles Campaign. 312. Hamilton, Ian. Listening for the Drums. London: Faber and Faber, 1944. Hamilton's comments about the Dardanelles in this volume are brief and scattered, but his central role in the campaign gives his comments significance. His remarks seem mostly defensive. 313. Hamilton, Ian. Sir Ian Hamilton's Despatches From the Dardanelles. London: George Newnes, n. d. This volume provides the indicated dispatches but no comment. 314. Hamilton, Ian B. M. The Happy Warrior: A Life of General Sir Ian Hamilton. London: Cassell, 1966. The family connection shows in this biography written by the subject's nephew. The book does provide a detailed account of Hamilton's activities during the Campaign. The author defends Hamilton against many charges, such as pressuring the naval commanders to include ground assault and excessive delay in making the initial attacks. He tends to ignore some criticisms such as Hamilton's tendency to allow subordinates to follow destructive strategies without intervening. He blames failure on the shortage of ammunition and reinforcements. 315. Hammerton, John A., ed. The Great War: I Was There! 3 Vols. London: The Amalgamated Press, 1938-39.

Hargrave, a sergeant in the medical corps, provides personal observations of the Suvla landing and subsequent fighting. 319. Hargrave, John. The Suvla Bay Landing. London: MacDonald, 1964. The author, a sergeant in the medical corps, provides a mix of narrative history and personal experience. He compliments the strategic thinking behind the Dardanelles, but condemns Fisher and Kitchener for offagain-on-again arrangements and has no good word for the military leadership of the expedition at any level. It is hard to imagine a more negative view of the officers involved. 320. Haythomthwaite, Philip. The World War I Source Book. London: Arms and Armour, 1992. Haythomthwaite has provided a very convenient source for checking facts and details about the Dardanelles Campaign and the war as a whole. 321. Haythomthwaite, Philip J. Gallipoli 1915. London: Osprey, 1991. Haythomthwaite, in this short, heavily illustrated volume, has done an excellent job of writing a clear outline. He also makes clear his belief that incompetent leadership, at all levels, was the central source of failure. His book is an excellent starting point for students seeking an overall picture of the situation. 322. Hazelhurst, Cameron. Politicians at War, July 1914 to May 1915. New York: Knopf, 1971. Hazelhurst provides useful insight into the political elements of the Dardanelles situation and has an unusual view of Churchill and the May, 1915, crisis that brought down the government. 323. Head, C O . A Glance at Gallipoli. London: Eyre and Spottiswoode, 1931. The author is very critical of the high command, suggesting that the failure at Gallipoli was due to "military mismanagement." He particularly condemns Kitchener for attempting to do the work of a chief of staff while serving as Secretary of State for War. He also regards the strategic goals, such as forcing the Turks out of the war, as far-fetched and unlikely to have resulted from military success. His description of the campaign is detailed but based primarily on secondary sources, although he did visit the peninsula in 1930. 324. Heichen, Walter.

Triumph and H.M.S. Majestic and some other vessels, which helped convince the British to restrict naval activities and replace newer capital ships with monitors. A second patrol was less successful. Hersing, U-21's captain, provides a first-hand account. 329. Hezlet, Arthur. The Submarine and Sea Power. London: Peter Davies, 1967. Although the author does not devote extensive analysis to the Dardanelles Campaign, he does note the importance of marine logistics for the Turks, and considering the success of nine British and four French submarines, he thinks that a greater effort could have cut that supply line. He also notes the effectiveness of German U-boats in driving away significant elements of the Royal Navy. 330. Hickey, Michael. Gallipoli. London: John Murray, 1995. Hickey has written a thorough survey account of the entire campaign. His descriptions are clear and complete, and although he does not focus on the question of fault, he attributes most failures to problems of leadership. 331.

New York: Macmillan, 1970. Hough argues that Fisher made three basic errors in dealing the with Dardanelles situation. First, he initially supported the idea, even offering the Queen Elizabeth as support and allowed Churchill's eloquence to prevent the hard questions from being asked. Second, he let himself be talked into quiescence at the January 28 War Council meeting when he started to raise objections to the plan. Third, he focused his objections on his own preference for action in the Baltic rather than making the case against the Dardanelles, especially the difficulty using naval gun fire against forts. 348. Hough, Richard. Former Naval Person: Churchill and the War at Sea. London: Weidenfeld and Nicolson, 1985. Hough provides good accounts of the naval war both on the sea and at the Admiralty. He is inclined to be critical of Churchill in connection with the Dardanelles Campaign. Poor staff work and less than competent admirals were problems, but Churchill helped create the staff and tolerated the presence of incompetents on it and in command. Ultimately, the problem was that although Churchill knew much about war in the abstract, he did not understand modem naval conflict in practice. 349. Hough, Richard. The Great War at Sea, 1914-1918. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1983. Hough argues that despite his dominance over strategic decisions, Winston Churchill did not really understand sea power and was not popular in the navy. He blames Churchill for ignoring the numerous indications that forcing the Dardanelles was impossible in his eagerness for action. The First Lord did not understand the technical elements of the campaign such as the difference between howitzers and naval guns, and used his political skills to out maneuver Fisher and other technical advisors. Hough credits Churchill as an excellent First Lord in peace time but insists that he should never have held the office during war. 350. Hoyt, EdwinP. Disaster at the Dardanelles, 1915. London: Arthur Barker, 1976. Despite the title, this volume only considers the naval attacks and concludes with the decision to land troops. It is a useful survey of the navy's efforts, however, and blames the failure upon Kitchener's vacillation, Fisher's failure to make his objections known from the beginning, and De Robeck's repeated refusals to continue the attack after the losses

Most importantly, the failure of the campaign helped ensure the dominance of the British army leaders' position that the war had to be fought out on the Western Front and that the military/civilian split over war aims would continue to be a problem. The campaign also influenced the decision of Italy to enter the war. 353. Hunter-Weston, Aylmer. "War and Peace at the Dardanelles." The Army Quarterly 3 (1921-22): 70-76.

James, Robert Rhodes. Churchill: A Study in Failure. New York: World Publishing, 1970. James is very critical of Churchill. He notes that the initial attack that gave away surprise was Churchill's idea, and insists that the First Lord misrepresented the ideas of his naval advisors about the overall campaign. The use of troops was discussed even in January, but Churchill continued to insist that they would be needed only as an occupying force. Since the weather was unlikely to make landing possible early in the spring, Churchill's claim that the earlier release of the 29th Division would have made a difference is not valid. James is not so extreme as to put all the blame on Churchill and makes reference to the War Council's failure to use good judgment, but he never allows the reader to forget that Churchill was the central figure. He also makes clear how uninformed Churchill was about the practical aspects of the campaign. James feels that Churchill badly underestimated the Turks, and that at no time were they on the verge of being overwhelmed. 372. James, Robert Rhodes. Gallipoli. London: Batsford, 1965; rpt. 1989.

Oliver was assigned to study the Turkish forts along the Dardanelles in preparation for the attack and concluded that they could be destroyed in a series of operations. He also believed that given the stalemate in France Churchill was right to press for the Dardanelles Campaign. The material provided concerning the Dardanelles in this biography is limited, but Oliver's work and views provide support for Churchill in the debate over strategy and should not be overlooked. 375. Jameson, William. The Fleet That Jack Built: Nine Men Who Made a Modern Navy. London: Rupert Hart-Davis, 1962. Of the two biographical sketches in this volume that are relevant to the Dardanelles, that of John Fisher has little information. The other, concerning Roger Keyes, provides a superficial account of the campaign and Keyes' aggressive approach to it. 376. Jameson, William. Submariners V. C London: Peter Davies, 1962. Jameson provides accounts of the patrols of the E 14 commanded by Lieutenant Commander E. C. Boyle and the E 11 commanded by Lieutenant Commander M. E. Nasmith. Each of the boats made successful attacks on Turkish ships in the Sea of Marmora during the Dardanelles Campaign. 377. Jeans, T. T. Reminiscences of a Naval Surgeon. London: Sampson Low, Marston, [1927]. Jeans served on the Euryalus and later the Swiftsure and was involved in both the April and August landings. He asserts that it was generally understood among naval officers that taking the Achi Baba heights was vital for success in April and that all knew that the expedition had failed by the second morning of the offensive. He also criticizes army officers for depending on naval gunfire without knowing about the limits of the technology. More within his own area of expertise, he criticizes provision of medical supply and evacuation and describes a trip to the River Clyde to care for the wounded left in the

Jerrold's memoir is rather episodic and wandering, but he does provide some details of the British Naval Division during the Gallipoli Campaign. 379. Jerrold, Douglas. The Hawke Battalion: Some Personal Records of Four Years. London: Ernest Benn, 1925. The author, who is a professional writer, gives an interesting account of his experiences including service in Gallipoli. The Hawke Battalion of the Naval Division saw action at Cape Helles near Achi Baba, and remained in the area until final evacuation of the peninsula. 380. Jerrold, Douglas. The Royal Naval Division. London: Hutchinson, 1923. Very well written account of the service of the Naval Division, which fought as an infantry unit in Gallipoli but was technically part of the Royal Navy.

Dublin: Gill and Macmillan, 1992. In four chapters about Gallipoli, Johnstone provides a detailed description of the experiences of Irish soldiers, including numerous quotations from them. His coverage is particularly good for the landing at Helles, Anzac in August, and the Suvla attack.

Although the Australian navy was not prominent in the Dardanelles campaign, this volume does provide an account of the AE 2, the first submarine to reach the Sea of Marmora. The account isfirst-handfromthe boat's commander, H.H.G.D. Stocker, who was captured after technical problems prevented submerging and the AE 2 was sunk. 388. Jourdain, H.F.N., and Edward Fraser.

Suvla Bay and After. London: Hodder and Stoughton, 1916. The author was with the 5th Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers of the 10th Irish Division.

Kannengiesser, Hans von. The Campaign in Gallipoli. Translated by C.J.P. Ball. London: Hutchinson, 1928; orig. Gallipoli: Bedeutung undverlaufder Kampfe. Berlin: Schlieffen Verlag, 1927. The author commanded a Turkish division during most of the fighting on the peninsula. He insists that Krithia could have been taken on either the second or third time the British assaulted it had one more attack been made. He also tells the tale of holding Koj a Chemen Tepe with a few men during the Suvla Bay landing. These accounts from the Turkish perspective are very valuable for gaining a full understanding of the campaign.

Historical Studies [Australia] 21 (1985): 376-90. Kent suggests that the image of the Anzac soldier was created by The Anzac Book published in London in 1916. This was an anthology done by Bean at the time of the withdrawal from Gallipoli. Kent maintains that Bean's selection of the fifty-five literary and fifteen art pieces in the book was made with an eye to making the troops look good. 394. Kent, Marian. "Asiatic Turkey, 1914-1916."

"Russia, The Straits, and Constantinople, 1914-15." Journal of Modern History 1(1929): 400-15. Kemer's discussion of the diplomatic background to the Dardanelles campaign provides valuable context for the military aspects of the story. 397. Keyes, Roger. The Fight for Gallipoli. London: Eyre and Spottiswoode, 1941. This volume, drawn from Keyes' Naval Memoirs, follows the Dardanelles campaign from beginning to end. It provides a full account of Keyes' enthusiasm for the strategy and his several efforts to urge on the attacks-first by the navy and later a combined effort rather than the planned withdrawal. 398. Keyes, Roger. Naval Memoirs of Admiral of the Fleet Sir Roger Keys. 2 Vols. London: Thornton Butterworth, 1934. Keyes was second in command at the Dardanelles and consistently argued that the naval attack could be successful and should be continued. Even when the decision to evacuate was being discussed, he was lobbying for a renewal of the navy's effort to force the Straits.

The general should have controlled the situation, for instance at Suvla, where he might have insisted on pressing the attack rather than moving slowly, consolidating and waiting for artillery. He allowed Stopford and Hunter-Weston to bungle, and although he was unlucky and poorly treated by his own superiors, he cannot be excused. 413.

His biographer weaves the personal elements of character development and learning to soldier with accounts of Bennett's combat experiences and heroism. It is clear that Bennett was bitter about the high casualty rates his men suffered and that he blamed vacillation and unrealistic planning by those in charge of the campaign for its failures. 424.

The Decisive Wars of History: A Study in Strategy. London: G. Bell, 1929. Liddell Hart is always eager to support the Easterners and makes clear his belief that the Dardanelles Campaign was an excellent idea that failed due to an almost incredible series of errors. 427. Liddell Hart, Basil H. "The Military Strategist." In Churchill Revised: A Critical Assessment. New York: Dial Press, 1969. Liddell Hart is well-known for his belief in the Eastern strategy, and the case of the Dardanelles is no exception. In his view, the fault was in the execution, not the conception, specifically the failure to employ adequate force initially. He believes that the March 18th attack, if renewed, would have been successful because the Turks were out of ammunition. Delays gave them the advantage. He cites German general Falkenhayn's view that opening the Black Sea route to Russia had the potential to be decisive. He does note that Churchill was impetuous and ignored practical, logistical problems. 428. Liddell Hart, Basil H. The Real War, 1914-1918. Boston: Little Brown, 1930; enlarged ed. entitled A History of the World War (1934). Liddell Hart regards the Dardanelles Campaign as an excellent example of the indirect strategy which he devoted his career to defending. It would have worked were it not for the inexperience of the troops employed and the lack of vigorous tactical leadership. He is also critical of the decision not to concentrate adequate force for the initial (or any other for that matter) attack during the campaign.

429. Liddell Hart, Basil H. Through the Fog of War. London: Faber and Faber, 1938. Liddell Hart provides a brief account of the war and a series of sketches including descriptions of Ian Hamilton and the fighting at Gallipoli. A leading critic of the Westerners, he asserts that success in the Dardanelles was possible, but lost due to a lack of support from the government and high command and tactical errors in the field. 430. Liddle, Peter H. The Airman's War 1914-18. Poole: Blandford Press, 1987. This well-illustrated volume presents the flyer's view of the war using many quotations from veterans. Concerning the Dardanelles Campaign, Liddle comments about the importance of the air service for artillery observation both for the navy and the army. He notes the difficulties of the situation for the relatively crude machines of 1915, and identifies several heroes. 431.

Liddle, Peter H. "The Dardanelles Gallipoli Campaign: Concept and Execution." In Home Fires and Foreign Fields: British Social and Military Experience in the First World War, edited by Peter Liddle. London: Brassey's, 1985. Liddle traces the changing ideas of goals and operations in the Dardanelles, and although he cautions about the dangers of hindsight in judging complicated situations, he leaves no doubt that he thinks the whole campaign was from inception a mistake that could and should have been avoided.

Liddle, Peter H. Gallipoli 1915: Pens, Pencils, and Cameras at War. London: Brassey's, 1985. Provides a selection of photographs, sketches, and reproduced handwritten accounts of the Gallipoli campaign. The value of the book is lessened by the very limited effort to set the material into context.

Liddle, Peter H. Men of Gallipoli: The Dardanelles and Gallipoli Experience, August 1914 to January 1916. London: Allen Lane, 1976. Liddle's main intention is to portray the experience of the men who served in the Dardanelles, and he does so quite vividly. He also makes clear, however, that he believes the politicians should have known better than to drift into the campaign without a clear plan and the soldiers, although asked to do the impossible, made tactical errors that worsened the situation.

Liddle provides a good account of the life of a soldier with numerous illustrations and quotations from veterans.

Lloyd George, David (Earl Lloyd George of Dwyfor). War Memoirs. 6 Vols. London: Nicolson and Watson, 1933-36; numerous rpts. Although Lloyd George was not directly involved in the military effort, his role, along with Churchill, as critic of the army's focus on the Western Front as he rose to Prime Minister makes his comments a necessary part of studying British strategy. When discussing the Dardanelles, he defends Churchill and blames Kitchener 438.

Lockhart, J. G. The Sea Our Heritage. London: Geoffrey Bles, 1940. This is a very popular account written to buoy spirits at the beginning of World War II. It provides several accounts of heroism at the initial landings on Gallipoli and among submariners but no analysis or criticism.

Although he does not analyze the Dardanelles Campaign per se, Lowe does recount the events in regard to Italy. His conclusion is that despite the problems of the campaign, its effects on Italy were positive in the sense of bringing that state into the war on the side of the Entente.

Lynn, Escort. LadsoftheLothians. London: Chambers, 1920. This historical novel is based on the experiences of the 5th Royal Scots which served with the 29th Division in Gallipoli. It tends to be old fashioned in its depiction of young men eager to serve king and country, but such lads existed in 1915. The book remains worth reading for those interested in attitudes of soldiers.

London: Headline Books, 1993. Macdonald is virtually unparalleled in her ability to weave oral history research into an account of a military situation. Her account of the Gallipoli battles is another triumph in this regard, but unfortunately she does not add her usually incisive analytical comments. 453.

Macdonald's collection of excerpts from comments about the war is useful for impressionistic scenes but offers little narrative cohesion. 454. Macdonald, Lyn. The Roses of No Man's Land.

The Dardanelles Campaign, 1915 University Press, 1985. Provides an account of the debates in the War Council concerning the Dardanelles Campaign with the goal of explaining Balfour's initial support-he thought the campaign would end if the navy failed-and later failure to oppose continuation-Kitchener was too dominant over military decisions to be resisted. Once he became First Lord of the Admiralty, Balfour felt Britain was too fully committed to the operation to withdraw, although that would have been the most reasonable course.

460. MacKay, Ruddock F. Fisher of Kilverstone. Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1973. MacKay is critical of Fisher for not doing more to make his objections to the Dardanelles known, especially to the War Council. His early support and his tendency to combine objections with recommendations for action in the Baltic made it easy for others to dismiss his remarks. Fisher's later assertions that technical advisors were not supposed to speak out unless asked are specious-he did not hesitate to inform Andrew Bonar Law, leader of the Opposition, about his views. Fisher had the support of the other Sea Lords on the position that the First Sea Lord should have control of strategy, and he could have used this to stop Churchill. Instead of doing so, he resigned. 461.

Although this book provides useful background to the Dardanelles Campaign, it has little information about the campaign itself. 467. MacMunn, George. Behind the Scenes in Many Wars, Being the Military Reminiscences of George MacMunn. London: John Murray, 1930. MacMunn is quite critical of the leadership at Gallipoli, which he regards as a hopeless folly. He served on the peninsula trying to establish a system of communications, a task he thinks was undertaken much too late. 468. MacMunn, George. "The Lines of Communication in the Dardanelles." Army Quarterly 20 (1930): 52-63. MacMunn notes the failure to study communication problems before embarking on the campaign, and is quite interested in the problems of coordination between the navy and army. He seems critical of the former but concludes that the real problem was differing approaches to amphibious operations. 469. McPherson, William L. A Short History of the Great War. New York: G. P. Putnam's Sons, 1920. Brief descriptive history, but the author does suggest that the Dardanelles was an opportunity missed by the Allies. 470. McPherson, William L. The Strategy of the Great War. New York: G. P. Putnam's Sons, 1919. McPherson considers the idea behind the Dardanelles campaign sound, and suggests that victory would have allowed the Allies to drive into the heart of Eastern Europe thus winning the war without U. S. involvement. He blames hesitancy, delays, and lack of total commitment by the high command and government for the failure. 471.

Although Richmond did not serve in the Dardanelles, his papers offer details of behind the scenes activity at the Admiralty. He did think Turkey a tempting target, but he also made clear, in a February 14, 1915, memorandum to Fisher, that a large force of troops would be needed and that the attack had to be accomplished very quickly.

sional staff at the Admiralty when planning the Dardanelles, he does think that the First Lord overstated the degree of support he got from those officers when presenting the plan to the War Council. He regards the idea that the navy could take a city as foolish, but had the decision to send troops been taken in the first stage of the campaign there would have been a realistic chance of success. Churchill knew all of this and should not have continued to press his idea. A better system of coordination between the branches of the military and between the military and the political leaders could have either stopped the campaign or given it the support in required for possible success. 480.

Marshall, S.L.A. "Suvla Bay." In Great Military Battles, Edited by Cyril Falls. London: George Weidenfeld and Nicolson, 1964; rpt. 1969.

482. Marshall, S.L.A. "Suvla Bay." Military Review 43 (Nov., 1963): 60-68. Marshall reevaluates the significance and effect of Suvla landing in the Gallipoli Campaign.

Marshall commanded a brigade in the 29th Division and provides accounts of landing, fighting at Gully Ravine, Helles, and Suvla, and the evacuation from Suvla. Marshall admits that the offensive failed, but insists that Turkish losses (worse than those of the Allies), keeping the enemy tied down, and the lessons learned about amphibious operations made the effort worthwhile. 485.

Writing from the perspective of the early days of World War II, Maurice stresses that lessons in cooperation had been learned from the first war. Concerning the Dardanelles Campaign, however, he ignores the fact that Churchill misled his French counterpart when the expedition was first being planned and that the Frenchman did not tell his own government the whole story so that in the case of failure he could blame the English. Maurice has an interesting perspective, but has not dealt fully with the situation. 489.

Gallipoli. Hamilton planned competently, but failed to make his plans clear to his corps commanders who themselves were elderly and/or inexperienced. When corps and divisional commands failed to pursue goals vigorously, Hamilton failed to press them for action.

Hell's Foundations: A Social History of the Town of Bury in the Aftermath of the Gallipoli Campaign. London: Hodder and Stoughton, 1992. Moorhouse provides a chapter surveying the Gallipoli experiences of the Lancashire Fusiliers, whose headquarters were in Bury. He notes that the Anzac troops had a rather low opinion of the British Tommies to the point of regarding them cowards, a charge he does not support. His discussion of the "six V. C.s before breakfast" won by the Fusiliers suggests that despite the true heroism of the men, the awards were made due to politics and were really a recognition of the whole unit. Much of the book is a discussion of the impact of the Gallipoli Campaign on the veterans and on the town of Bury in the years between the World Wars. 510. Mordal, Jacques.

He blames the failure on understandable human error, insists that the problem between Churchill and Fisher was a personal matter, and that the problems were thoroughly understood before the decision to attack was taken. His "fair account" is more accurately called a whitewash. 518. Mousharrafa, M. M. Ataturk: A Biography. Cairo: Anglo-Egyptian Bookshop, n. d.

This volume of German official history lauds the Turkish effort at Gallipoli, but suggests that the British might have been successful if they had acted more promptly after initiating the naval bombardment. After mid-March, however, the German view is that the British were consistently too late with too little. 524. Mullaly, B. R. Bugle and Kukri: The Story of the 10th Princess Mary's Own Gurkha Rifles.

Despite significant resistance, it advanced some 1,500 yards only to be pulled back 200 to a line that it would hold till the evacuation of the peninsula. Its four months at Gallipoli cost it some 800 casualties. Murphy's account is descriptive but detailed. 527. Murphy, C.C.R. Soldiers of the Prophet. London: John Hogg, 1921. Based on Turkish sources, Murphy has prepared an order of battle for the Turkish forces at the times of the April Allied landing, the Suvla landing in August, and the evacuation in January, 1916. Although, as

This article is focused on improving technology to show that many the problems faced at Gallipoli would be easily avoided twenty years later. The key in Murphy's mind is the improved quality and use of aircraft. 529. Murray, Joseph. Call to Arms: From Gallipoli to the Western Front. London: William Kimber, 1980. Murray was in the Royal Naval Division and served at Gallipoli for the entire campaign.

The Dardanelles Campaign was, for most of Britain's leadership, intended to help Russia both by freeing her from fighting the Turks and opening communications from the Mediterranean. Neilson provides context for understanding the problems Britain faced in dealing with Russian needs and suggests that economic and transport problems might well have been too great to be solved by opening the Black Sea to commerce. 534.

1917. East European Monographs No. CCCXLIII. Boulder: East European Monographs (Distributed by Columbia University Press), 1992. Nekrasov regards the Dardanelles as "truly brilliant strategic thought" especially when compared to efforts on the Western Front. The campaign offered chances to eliminate Turkey, which was an important German ally, free British, French and Russian troops from fighting Turks, open a supply route to Russia, and influence morale on both sides. Unfortunately this excellent idea was poorly planned and executed. 535. Nelson, John E. "Irish Soldier in the Great War." Irish Sword 11 (1974): 163-79.

The Dardanelles Campaign. London: Nisbet, 1918. Nevinson writes well and was an eyewitness to many of the events of the campaign. His work remains worth reading but overall modem scholars offer much fuller accounts. Nevinson supports the strategic conception, which he regards as brilliant. He attributes failure to numerous errors including the premature naval bombardment; delays in concentrating forces in the area; command-control difficulties and the use of inexperienced, poorly trained troops. The greatest failure in Nevinson's view was that of the political-military high command in London for not recognizing the potential of the campaign and giving it adequate support. 538.

He praises Churchill for the concept and since he had not operational control, excuses him from blame. Among the politicians, he blames Kitchener for failing to ensure that the expedition was adequately supported. He condemns the tactical handling of the operation as well, but he lays the blame for this on the soldiers involved and does not think it detracts from the virtues of the strategic conception. He acknowledges the many problems Hamilton faced, but is quite critical of his failure to press his subordinates for decisive action.

556. Oxford and Asquith, Earl of. Memories and Reflections, 1852-1927. 2 Vols. London: Cassell, 1928. Asquith, Prime Minister for the origin and first stages of the Dardanelles Campaign, provides a detailed account of the decision-making process that led up to and influenced the conduct of the battle. Although he tends to support Churchill, his account does not, however, deal with the charges that his own dilatory style contributed to the delays that caused the ultimate failure. 557. Paget, Gregory. "Alliance Politics and the 1915 Dardanelles-Gallipoli Campaign." Journal of the Royal Australian Historical Society 71 (1986): 268-85.

"The November 1914 Straits Agreement and the Dardanelles-Gallipoli Campaign." Australian Journal of Politics and History 33 (1987): 253-60. The 1914 agreement allowed Russia passage of the Straits after the war, and the Dardanelles Campaign was more intended to help keep Russia in the war than to drive Turkey out or open a Balkan front. Despite the failure the effect was helpful in dealing with Russia. Paget suggests that the commitment to Russia was really the driving force behind decisions to keep the campaign going. 559.

Payne regards the concept of the Dardanelles Campaign as good and suggests that success would have been a disaster for Germany.

Although his focus is more political than martial, Ponting does discuss Churchill's involvement in the strategic decisions behind the Dardanelles Campaign.

London: Croom Helm, 1983. Prior provides a detailed analysis of the account of the Dardanelles Campaign in The World Crisis, Churchill's history of the war. Prior argues effectively that Churchill by careful selection of material and interpretation minimized his own responsibility for the problems of the campaign. Prior is convinced that most of Churchill's assumptions about the Dardanelles were incorrect and that there was little if any hope of military victory. He also questions the belief that the results of a military victory would have been strategically significant. Whether one accepts Prior's analysis, The World Crisis should not be used without reference to this volume. 581.

Puleston argues that the initial losses at the Dardanelles were given too much publicity and seemed worse than they really were. Hence the original plan to break off the attack if it were too expensive could not be implemented. He also indicates that the Allies learned little from the Dardanelles since they promptly opened another secondary front at Salonika.

The Dardanelles Campaign, 1915 fighting with the focus on the Australian units involved. Robertson rejects the idea that C.E.W. Bean created an Anzac myth. He believes that the combination of camaraderie, irreverence about authority, unless earned by merit, and a growing sense of Australian nationalism did, in fact, establish a special quality in the men and contribute to the emergence of an independent Australia. As far as Gallipoli is concerned, Robertson does not believe that victory was possible.

600. Robertson, William. Soldiers and Statesmen, 1914-1919. 2 Vols. London: Cassell, 1926. Robertson, who served for most of the war as Chief of the Imperial General Staff, was a firm Westerner. He provides a good account of the dispute about the use of troops outside of France, and criticizes Kitchener for failing to stick to his original resolve not to send any. He tends to credit Churchill as the driving force behind the expedition and blame him for pushing every decision to its limit to get more support. He also criticizes the planning, noting that Hamilton, who was to command in Gallipoli, was not shown earlier reports about the difficulties of military operations there. Overall Robertson is firm in his conviction that the effort was not worth the cost. 601.

602. Rose, Norman. Churchill: The Unruly Giant. New York: Free Press, 1994. Rose believes that Churchill realized the Western Front was the decisive theater, and even that the idea of the Dardanelles was foolish. The First Lord was driven, however, to find glory and to reverse the impression made by early naval setbacks and his own performance at Antwerp, when he went personally to attempt to hold that city against the Germans. Seizing on Kitchener's suggestion of a demonstration to help draw Turkish forces from pressing Russia, he used his powers of persuasion to convince and sometimes mislead sailors and politicians alike. Fisher was an early doubter but did not make his reservations widely known. When the naval attack faltered, Kitchener spoke against backing down for fear of losing prestige in the East, and Churchill, knowing his political future was on the line, carried on to complete disaster. 603.

604. Roskill, Stephen. Churchill and the Admirals. London: William Collins, 1977. Although the bulk of the book is devoted to the Second World War, the initial chapters concern Churchill and World War I. Roskill is convinced that Churchill's energy, brilliance, articulateness, and ruthlessness forced through the Dardanelles plan. He criticizes Churchill for not keeping the War Council fully informed of the views of professionals at the Admiralty. He notes the failure of others, particularly Fisher, to speak in opposition, but does not think any one could have deflected Churchill. In the end, however, he argues that the Germans could have resupplied and reinforced the Turks faster than the navy could have landed men and materiel at Constantinople, so the expedition was really hopeless. 605.

Roskill, Stephen. Hankey: Man of Secrets, Vol. 1: 1877-1918. New York: St. Martin's Press, 1970. Roskill effectively traces Hankey's (the secretary of the War Council) support for the Easterner (or in his words maritime) strategy, making clear that he always favored use of combined arms in the Dardanelles. Hankey, according to Roskill, circulated among the members of the War Council the 1906 report that argued strongly that a naval attack was very unlikely to succeed. Hankey always believed in the strategic virtues of the campaign, and was one of if not the only British authority who thought seriously about the tactical problems and post-Gallipoli victory arrangements. Hankey's report after his visit to Gallipoli in late July, 1915, makes clear the problems of leadership and staff work that doomed what Roskill considers a second real chance at victory through the Suvla landing. This biography gives Hankey very high marks concerning the Dardanelles and suggests that had he been listened to the campaign would have been the success its advocates dreamed about.

The Kitchener Enigma. London: Michael Joseph, 1985. Royle's opinion of Kitchener isfriendlythough not eulogistic. He does an excellent job of laying out Kitchener's ideas of strategy and fitting the Dardanelles into them. Kitchener was very concerned to keep the Russians in the field until the New Armies were ready to deliver a knock-out blow in the West. He was also concerned about maintaining adequate protection against an invasion of England. He initially supported the Dardanelles naval campaign as a way to help Russia without committing troops, but his experience in the East led him to believe that abandoning a highly publicized attack would be a disastrous for imperial prestige, hence his willingness to send troops when the navy failed. Austro-German successes against Russia in the summer of 1915, however, led him to the decision that a fall offensive in France was necessary to draw German forces back to the West, leading to his decision to deny Hamilton reinforcements. His subsequent indecisiveness about withdrawal from Gallipoli then became one of the factors that seriously undermined his influence. His major mistake, according to Royle, was secretiveness about his strategic ideas, which frustrated his civilian colleagues and caused confusion. Royle believes that Kitchener was basically right and would have gotten support had people understood what he was trying to do and why he changed policies. 611.

Sixsmith, E.K.G. British Generalship in the Twentieth Century. London: Arms and Armour Press, 1970. Sixsmith rejects most of the strategic arguments offered in favor of the Dardanelles Campaign, and suggests that the Easterners were really looking to the use of naval power to limit British involvement in the war. He believes that Churchill and Kitchener were so strong that the struggles between them tended to block thoughtful planning and that in handling of the military Kitchener was too independent, with the result that needed staff work was not done. Concerning the Dardanelles Campaign, Sixsmith maintains that the two key errors were launching the initial naval attack without ground support and then calling off that attack to wait for army support. He praises Hamilton's plan for the Suvla landing, but criticizes the general for not ensuring that everyone understood the need for taking the high ground as quickly as possible and seeing that this was done. Overall, failure resulted from the limited effort due to lack of support, and Hamilton's reluctance to press his subordinates to get on with their jobs.

Smith, Staniforth. Australian Campaigns in the Great War: Being a Concise History of the Australian Naval and Military Forces, 1914-1918. Melbourne: Macmillan, 1919. Provides a detailed but primarily descriptive account of the Australians at Anzac Cove from April to November, 1915, but gives minimal attention to the evacuation. The author does, however, note that the removal of Winston Churchill from office in May of 1915 was a major blow to the Campaign's chances of success.

Smithers, A. J. Sir John Monash. London: Leo Cooper, 1973. This is a good biography providing details of the fighting and of Monash's efforts to team his profession. It also has a useful description of the problems of mid-level command during the Dardanelles Campaign.

640. Smyth, John. Leadership in Battle 1914-1918. Newton Abbot: David and Charles, 1975. Smyth argues that the Dardanelles Campaign failed due to poor preparation, most of which was not the fault of Ian Hamilton or other military officers involved. He does indicate that Hamilton underestimated the quality of the resistance. Other problems including the failure of naval guns against forts, lack of adequate communications, lack of maps and intelligence, and the delays that gave the Turks a chance to prepare resulted from lapses by higher authority. Concerning leadership Smyth devotes much attention to the Australians and Sikhs. 641.

Spiers, Edward. "Gallipoli." In The First World War and British Military History. Edited by Brian Bond. Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1991. Spiers' essay, part of an excellent volume of historiography, provides an overview of the interpretations historians have made of the Dardanelles Campaign.

644. Stake, H. Fritz M. The Worcestershire Regiment. Kidderminster: Cheshire, 1928. The 9th Battalion of this regiment was with the 13th Division at Gallipoli. Because the author seeks to follow the Regiment's Battalions, which were quite scattered during the war, accounts are brief and episodic. The account of Gallipoli does cover the entire land campaign, however. 645.

Stamps, T. Dodson, and Vincent J. Esposito, eds. A Short Military History of World War I. West Point: U. S. Military Academy, 1950. This account suggests that the British effort at Gallipoli failed generally due to poor planning and preparation. These problems were worsened at Helles and Suvla by a lack of aggressive leadership, inexperienced troops, and poor communications, though better leaders could have coped. The failure at Anzac was more the result of difficult terrain and exhausted, often ill, soldiers.

646. Steel, Nigel. The Battlefields of Gallipoli: Then and Now. London: Leo Cooper, 1990. The author's goal is to describe the geography of the battle area as it was during the campaign, describe how it has changed, and relate the military events to geography. He has done so effectively. 647. Steel, Nigel, and Peter Hart. Defeat at Gallipoli. London: Macmillan, 1994. These authors focus on the English soldiers, who were the majority at Gallipoli, to correct what they assert has been a tendency to overemphasize the Anzac contribution. They strongly criticize the poor planning that was more concerned with politics in England than the military aspects of the operation, but they do not single out any individual as central to the failure. They seem to think that the expedition had some chance of success but was unlikely to accomplish as much as its supporters hoped. Tactical and logistical problems combined with poor leadership to prevent any success. 648.

The Cornwallis was involved in the Dardanelles Campaign from the first shot of the naval effort to force the Straits and was the last ship to leave Suvla Bay. The volume is essentially a unit history and provides an interesting account of the naval elements of the campaign from the perspective of a particular vessel. 651.

Still, John. A Prisoner in Turkey. London: John Lane, The Bodley Head, 1920. Still served with the 6th Battalion of the East Yorkshire Regiment. On August 9 due to a delayed message his unit attacked in unnecessarily difficult circumstances at Teke Tepe. After taking heavy casualties, they retreated only to encounter superior Turkish forces and were taken prisoner. His account includes some histrionic though not necessarily untrue reports of mistreatment and other observations of the Turks.

654. Stoker, H. G. Straws in the Wind. London: Herbert Jenkins, 1925. The author commanded the first British (actually the Australian AE 2) submarine to reach the Sea of Marmora. Forced to surface, he was taken prisoner and held by the Turks for the rest of the war. His adventures provide some information about the beginning of the naval effort in the Dardanelles campaign. 655.

New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1975. One element in the objectives for the Dardanelles Campaign was to open a route to Russia, and early in 1915, the Russians were expecting this to happen. Although the Anglo-French failure at the Straits ended such hopes, the background of the Eastern Front, welldescribed by Stone, is important for a clear understanding of planning for the Dardanelles effort. 658. Story of the Anzacs, The: An Historical Account of the Part Taken by Australia and New Zealand in the Great War. Melbourne: James Ingrain, 1917. This account, which ends with the evacuation of Gallipoli, has many useful details of the Anzac forces, but it is uncritical and overly imbued with the Anzac spirit. Problems are ignored or treated as bad luck or inevitable, except for a few comments about shortages of ammunition. No account of an Anzac's death is left without the individual's urging that his mates be cared for first. 659. Struz, Rudolph.

Stuermer, Harry. Two War Years in Constantinople. Translated by F. Allen and the Author. New York: George H. Doran, 1917. Stuermer was in Turkey during the British assault and insists that German gunners believed that with just a little more effort the March attack would have broken through. The Turks were so convinced that they were moving government records and vital materials out of Constantinople. He also asserts that the August attack could have produced victory if pressed more effectively. Stuermer ultimately came to admire the British and Australians and asserted the Germans were wrong to start the war.

662. Sutton, F. A. One-Arm Sutton. New York: Viking Press, 1933. Sutton's service at Gallipoli was brief. He tells the story of losing his hand when trying to throw a Turkish grenade back to the enemy lines. His account provides an example of heroism but little else for the study of the Dardanelles Campaign. 663.

Swing, Raymond. Good Evening. London: The Bodley Head, 1964. Swing was an American newspaper correspondent stationed in Turkey. He was present during the naval attack on the Dardanelles and comments on the shortage of ammunition for Turkish guns and the assumption that on the second day (March 19) the British would force the Straits.

Swept Channels: Being an Account of the Work of the Minesweepers in the Great War. London: Hodder and Stoughton, 1935. Mines were a key to the Turkish defense of the Dardanelles, and the failure to eliminate them virtually assured the British naval defeat. Taffrail believes that the strategy behind the Dardanelles Campaign was sound, but poor execution made success impossible. 666.

Tale of a Territorial The: Being a Record of Experience at Home and Abroad During the Years 1914, 1915, and 1916. Wellingborough: Perkins, [1918]. This book is a very detailed memoir of a soldier at Anzac. It does not, however, provide much context into which the details might be set.

667. Taylor, A.J.P. English History, 1914-1945. New York: Oxford University Press, 1965. Taylor does a good job of setting the Dardanelles Campaign into political and military context. He points out the problems of leadership during the operation and notes that the defeat marked the last actual attempt to shift the focus of the war away from the Western Front. 668. Taylor, A.J.P. Illustrated History of the First World War. London: Hamish Hamilton, 1963; numerous rpts. Taylor is a bit inconsistent in that he dismisses the Dardanelles as one of the sideshows that could not have a significant effect on Germany, which had to be defeated to win the war and then calls the Dardanelles strategy "brilliant." He attributes failure to inadequate leadership, insisting that the fleet could have easily

Stevenson was Lloyd George's mistress, and he often revealed himself to her, although at times he seemed more interested in making himself look good than in telling the truth. The comments about the Dardanelles are scattered through the diary but do provide insight into the thinking of one of the key politicians involved in the decision making about the campaign. 670.

Teichman, O. The Diary of a Yeomanry, M. O. London: Fisher Unwin, 1921. Teichman's writing is much better than average and his diary provides a useful and detailed picture of the Gallipoli campaign as well as his other war experiences in the Middle East and Italy.

672. Terraine, John. The First World War. London: Hutchinson, 1965; rpt. 1983 and 1984. Terraine's account of the Dardanelles Campaign is relatively brief and reflects his belief that the war could only be won on the Western Front and that resources shifted to other theaters were essentially wasted. 673. Terraine, John. "1915—The End of an Epoch." Journal of the Royal United Service Institution 101(1956): 76-79. In his discussion of the various problems of 1915, Terraine, a strong supporter of the Westerners, suggests that the Dardanelles marked the shift of British military policy from dominant naval to land strength. 674. Terraine, John. White Heat: The New Warfare, 1914-18. London: Sidgwick and Jackson, 1982. Terraine, one of the most prolific of World War I historians, has written little about the Dardanelles. In this volume he reviews the campaign as part of a discussion of trial-and-error teaming early in the war. It was, he asserts, a mistaken effort to evade the cost of the Western Front and the last ever effort by Britain to achieve traditional naval supremacy. 675. Thomas, Lowell.

Records of the Dorset Yeomanry (Queen's Own), 19141919. Sherbome: F. Bennett & Co., The Parade, 1921. The Dorsets were part of the 2nd Mounted Division, and this unit history provides much detail of individuals in combat most significantly at Scimitar Hill following the Suvla landing. Subsequent events are covered in much more cursory fashion. 679. Thompson, P. A. Lions Led by Donkeys: Showing How Victory in the Great War Was Achieved by Those Who Made the Fewest Mistakes. London: T. Werner Laurie, 1927. Thompson praises the concept of moving the focus of the attack on the Central Powers to the Dardanelles, which he credits to Churchill and Fisher. The idea, however, should have been dropped as soon as the decision was taken not to send troops, especially since the Russians had defeated the Turkish attack that had prompted their initial request for help. The invasion, if it was to be continued, should have been given adequate supplies and troops but was not. Thompson's account is opinionated but superficial. 680. Thompson, R. R. The Fifty-Second. (Lowland) Division, 1914-1918. Glasgow: Maclehose, 1923. Much better than average divisional history with military details set in context. Most of the 52nd's service was in the East including Gallipoli, where most of its units fought at Cape Helles. Some of its artillery was at Anzac and Suvla, however. 681. Thomson, Alistair. Anzac Memories. Melbourne: Oxford University Press, 1994. This study of the Anzac spirit and the rise of Australian nationalism covers all of World War I, and so the coverage of the Gallipoli is limited. It does provide a great many oral history sources based on interviews with veterans, however. 682. Thomson, Alistair. "Gallipoli-A Past That We Can Live By?" Melbourne Historical Journal 14(1982): 56-72. Provides discussion of Australian memories of Gallipoli as presented in the film Gallipoli and discusses the importance of historical interpretation for national consciousness.

683. Thomson, Alistair. "History and 'Betrayal': The Anzac Controversy." History Today 43 (1993): 8-11. Thomson's focus is Australian unhappiness about the suggestions in the British official history of the Gallipoli fighting that Anzac soldiers actually straggled in large numbers during the initial landing in April, 1915, and that the history was revised accordingly. His article is important for the study of the Dardanelles Campaign because it gives some reason to think that the official history should not be trusted. 684. Thoumin, Richard. The First World War. Edited and translated by Martin Kieffer. London: Martin Seeker and Warburg, 1963. First published as La Grande Guerre. [The Great War.] 3 Vols. Paris: Rene Julliard, 1960. This book is extracts from primary but published sources. The American edition reduced the space given to the poilu and adds some material concerning English speaking soldiers. The failure at the Dardanelles is blamed on poor preparation, difficult terrain, the toughness of the Turks, and inadequate leadership. 685. Throssell, Ric. My Father's Son. Melbourne: William Heinemann, 1989. Includes account of H.V.H. Throssell who won the Victoria Cross at Hill 60, August 29, 1915, while serving with the 10th Australian Light Horse. 686. Till, Geoffrey. "Brothers in Arms: The British Army and Navy at the Dardanelles." In Facing Armageddon: The First World War Experienced. Edited by Hugh Cecil and Peter H. Liddle.

Tilton, Mary. The Grey Battalion. Sydney: Angus and Robertson, 1933. Author was a nurse who cared for Gallipoli wounded in Egypt.

The Dardanelles Campaign, 1915 1915 Gallipoli Model." Journal of Contemporary History. 29 (1994): 403-42. Travers argues that there has been excessive focus on the failures of individuals at Gallipoli. The fundamental problems, he believes, were structural, that is the British military doctrine had not adapted to the new nature of war emerging in 1914-15. The struggle on Gallipoli ultimately developed many tactics similar to those emerging on the Western Front such as bite and hold and seeking to reverse setbacks by constantly seeking more men and supplies. The high command at Gallipoli, like that of the Western Front, became detached from the situations and people at the front. What are seen as errors in judgment by officers at Gallipoli are often decisions grounded in the training and experience these men had had. There were certainly individual failings, but the operation was, in reality, beyond the capacities of the British military in 1915.

[The Dardanelles and Monte Cassino: Errors of the Two World Wars.] Rassegna Italiana di Politica e di Cultura 36 (1959): 376-388. Triton suggests that Churchill, who was made to look bad due to the failure at the Dardanelles, was seeking to redeem himself with the strategy that produced the Battle of Monte Cassino in World War II. 691.

Trooper Bluegum [Hogue, Oliver]. Love Letters of an Anzac. London: Andrew Melrose, 1916. The author, a member of the 14th Australian Light Horse Regiment shows the Anzac spirit of eagerness, aggressiveness, and disdain for authority. He also leaves the impression that British anti-German propaganda was very effective.

692. Troubridge, Laura. Memories and Reflections. London: William Heinemann, 1925. Troubridge was Admiral Ernest Troubridge's sister-in-law, and she provides an account of the escape of the Goeben and the Breslau from British squadrons, one commanded by Troubridge, in the Mediterranean. This incident, which resulted in the German ships being added to the Turkish navy and Admiral Wilhelm Souchon coming to command that fleet, was part of series of events that brought Turkey into the war and is important background to the Dardanelles Campaign. 693. Trumpener, Ulrich. "German Military Aid to Turkey in 1914: An Historical Re-Evaluation." Journal of Modern History 32(1960): 145-149. Trumpener shows that the Germans were having significant difficulty in getting military aid to Turkey and that in early 1915 the Turks were virtually on their own. His research suggests that the idea that Germany would have rushed help to their ally had the British attack gone well is questionable.

"Turkish General Staff History of the Campaign in Gallipoli." Army Quarterly, 11 (1925-26): 343-53; 12 (1926): 88-95. The Turkish officers suggest that a stronger, sustained naval attack might have succeeded, and blame the later failures on logistics and problems with disease. This is valuable as an account from the Turkish point-of-view in English, but must be consulted with caution as the conclusions may have been what the authors thought the British wished to hear.

717. Wallin, Jeffrey D. By Ships Alone: Churchill and the Dardanelles. Durham: Carolina Academic Press, 1981. Wallin strongly supports Churchill's conception of the naval attack at the Dardanelles, and insists that the failings were those of commanders and their staffs. He believes that a renewal of the attack after the setback of March 18 might have succeeded. He also defends Churchill against attacks by scholars such as Robin Prior that he had information that should have warned him against the whole idea of the Dardanelles. 718. Wallin, Jeffrey. "Politics and Strategy in the Dardanelles Operation." In Statesmanship: Essays in Honor of Sir Winston Spenser Churchill, Edited by Harry Jaffa. Durham: Carolina Academic Press, 1981. Wallin provides critiques of both A. J. Marder and Martin Gilbert, who suggest that Churchill was at fault in the Dardanelles failure. Wallin is convinced that Churchill always believed that the navy had a reasonable chance of success and thought that more force should be provided as insurance rather than changing his mind about the success of the navy alone. 719.

Watson, S. H. "The Gallipoli Blunder." Army Quarterly and Defense Journal 112 (1982): 178-83. Watson, a veteran of the campaign, suggests that the key mistakes were failing to attack on land in March and landing the Anzac forces on the wrong beach.

726. Weaver, Lawrence. The Story of the Royal Scots. London: Country Life and George Newnes, n. d.. The 5th Battalion of the Royal Scots was in the 29th Division, and Weaver provides an account of the initial landing, storming Gully Ravine, and subsequent fighting. 727.

Webster, F.A.M. The History of the Fifth Battalion: The Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire Regiment (T. A.). London: Frederick Warne, 1930. This battalion reached Gallipoli in August to be part of the landing at Suvla Bay and remained until the final evacuation. Webster's account is mostly descriptive but quite detailed.

728. Wedgwood, Josiah Clement. Essays and Adventures. London: Allen and Unwin, 1924. Wedgewood was a machine gunner on the River Clyde at V Beach and provides an account of that terrible situation on April 25. 729. Wedgwood, Josiah Clement. With Machine Guns in Gallipoli. London: Darling and Son, 1915. Although actually a pamphlet, this work offers first-hand details of the situation on Gallipoli. 730. Welborn, Suzanne. Lords of Death: A People, A Place, A Legend. Fremantle: Fremantle Arts Centre Press, 1982. Welborne's study is focused on Western Australians who served in the war and includes chapters about Gallipoli. Her account is dominated with the personal experiences and reactions of the men and is some times a bit histrionic. It does, however, provide many details about the situation on Gallipoli and insight into the impact of the experience on the development of Australian national feeling. 731.

Wester Wemyss, Lord. The Navy in the Dardanelles Campaign. London: Hodder and Stoughton, 1924. The author combines memoirs, letters, and accounts from others to fill in aspects of the situation he did not observe to produce a full account. Wester Wemyss was admiral in command of the base at Mudros. He believes the campaign had a chance of success. He speaks eloquently of the heroism of the soldiers and sailors involved and notes that the admirals had decided land action was needed before Hamilton arrived to consult about the use of army forces. Better coordination between soldiers, sailors, and politicians would have made the campaign more likely to succeed.

734. Westlake, Ray. British Regiments at Gallipoli. London: Leo Cooper, 1996. Westlake's work is meticulous and the result is an excellent reference book for tracing battalions through the Gallipoli operations. The lack of a bibliography is regrettable. 735.

Whalley-Kelly, H. "Ich Dien" The Prince of Wales's Volunteers (South Lancashire) 1914-1934. Aldershot: Gale and Polden, 1935. The 6th (Service) Battalion of this unit was at Suvla and Sari Bair. The descriptions tend to be brief but include some detail not likely to be found in other published volumes.

736. White, A. S. A Bibliography of Regimental Histories of the British Army. London: Society for Army Historical Research in Conjunction With the Army Museum's Ogilby Trust, 1965. Although it is thorough, the lack of annotations makes this bibliography difficult to use, for entries even include recruiting brochures. It is, however, a very useful reference for finding works about a particular unit. 737. White, T. A. The "Fighting Thirteenth": The History of the Thirteenth Battalion A. I. F. Sydney: N. P., 1924.

Official War History of the Wellington Mounted Rifles Regiment 1914-1919. Wellington: Whitcombe and Tombs, 1924. This unit-without its horses-took part in the Anzac operation at Gallipoli, and Wilkie provides a detailed description of its activities. 741.

Wilkinson, Norman. The Dardanelles: Colour Sketches From Gallipoli. London: Longmans, Green, 1915. Wilkinson was aboard a number of vessels during the Gallipoli action and his account, included with a large number of sketches and paintings, provides details of sailors' activities and the naval involvement in the campaign.

Williams, H. R. The Gallant Company: An Australian Soldier's Story of 1915-1918. Sydney: Angus and Robertson, 1933. Williams was a lieutenant who rose from sergeant and gives a good account of activities in the various units to which he was assigned. He was not long in the Dardanelles, however.

744.

Williams, Jeffrey. ByngofVimy: General and Governor General. London: Leo Cooper, 1983. Byng arrived to take command at Suvla in midAugust. A Westerner, he was quickly convinced that evacuation should occur and need not be costly—though almost everyone else expected 50 percent casualties or more. He resisted pressure from Hamilton above and divisional commanders to attack until adequate artillery munitions were at hand, and in the end there was no attack. He was then a key figure in organizing successful withdrawal. He got a K. C. B., but never again saw his old friend and patron Kitchener because Kitchener seems to have felt humiliated that Byng could get out with no loss when he had predicted massive ones.

Williams, Orlo. "The Gallipoli Tragedy." The Nineteenth Century and After 106 (July 1929): 82-94. Williams felt compelled to respond to the official history, and based his account on his diary written during the campaign. He is quite critical of Kitchener and thinks that Hamilton was too deferential in dealing with him.

746.

Wilson, Michael. Destination Dardanelles: The Story of H.M.S. E 7.

140

The Dardanelles Campaign, 1915 London: Leo Cooper, 1988. Using the diary of the submarine E 7's first officer, Wilson traces the activities of British submarines through the first two years of the war. The E 7 made a very successful first patrol into the Sea of Marmora. The first officer, injured on the trip, remained behind when the E 7 went on a second patrol and was sunk, most of the crew being taken prisoner by the Turks. The book provides a valuable look at the activity of submarines during the first half of the Dardanelles Campaign.

747. Wilson, Trevor. The Myriad Faces of War. Cambridge: Polity Press, 1986. Wilson provides an account of the entire campaign. He believes that it had little chance of success even had there been competent leadership and luck. Without thorough preparation and surprise-neither achieved at Gallipoli-defeat was far and away the most likely result. Wilson also points out many tactical errors, sometimes suggesting that the experience of the Western Front should have prevented them. This seems dubious since the war was only a few months old when the Dardanelles Campaign began. Wilson seems to expect the leaders and troops at Gallipoli to have learned from the experience of another front, which few of them had even visited, faster than those actually fighting there. 748. Winter, Denis. "The Anzac Book: A Re-Appraisal." Journal of the Australian War Memorial 16 (April, 1990): 58-61. Winter rejects the critical commentary [See especially No. 393] that accuses Bean of deliberately trying to overly glorify Australian soldiers and the "Anzac spirit." Winter argues persuasively that The Anzac Book was part of the British propaganda effort, and that had Bean even attempted to portray the darker side of the conflict his position as correspondent and official historian would have been jeopardized. 749. Winter, Denis. "The Anzac Landing~The Great Gamble?" Journal of the Australian War Memorial 4 (April, 1984): 13-21. Winter suggests that planning and execution of the Anzac landing were confused and poorly organized. The assertions of various officers that problems arose due to an unexpected current or poor navigation by inexperienced, youthful midshipmen commanding the tows are part of a deliberate cover-up that extended to actual lying in evidence to the Dardanelles Commission. 750. Winter, Denis. 25 April 1915: The Inevitable Tragedy. St. Lucia: University of Queensland Press, 1994. As suggested by his title, Winter is a strong critic of the Dardanelles operation. In addition to the usual criticism of leadership, he is particularly hard on the logistic arrangements, or really lack of such arrangements. He also suggests that there was more discussion of the operation in preparation for it than is usually

New York: Macmillan, 1931. Woods defends the strategy of the Dardanelles and condemns various tactical and logistical errors for the failure of the campaign. His own factual errors call his conclusions into question. 752.

Woodward, David R. Lloyd George and the Generals. Newark: University of Delaware Press; London: Associated University Presses, 1983. Although Woodward's focus is more political than military, his analysis of the struggle of Lloyd George to shift the focus of the war away from the Western Front is central to the strategic decisions concerning the Dardanelles. He also provides interesting information about the role of politics in decisions about how much support was to be given to the campaign.

Woodward, Llewellyn. Great Britain and the War of 1914-1918. London: Methuen, 1967. Although more concerned about politics than military operations, Woodward does discuss the Dardanelles, and is critical of Hamilton's planning for the campaign.

Wylly, H.C. The Border Regiment in the Great War. Aldershot: Gale and Polden, 1924. Two battalions of the Regiment served at Gallipoli, and although Wylly wrote a number of effective unit histories, his account here is brief as he tried to cover the scattered battalions of the regiment throughout the war. 757. Wylly, H. C. The Green Howards in the Great War. Richmond, Yorkshire: [Butler and Tanner], 1926. The 6th (Service) Battalion was at Gallipoli, arriving in July. It took part in the Suvla operation and remained there until final evacuation. Wylly wrote a series of unit histories, and he was a competent historian. 758. Wylly, H. C.

The Dardanelles Campaign, 1915 I, and its accounts, focused on individual battalions of the regiment, are brief. One battalion did serve in Gallipoli, fighting at Suvla and Scimitar Hill.

759. Wylly, H. C. Neill's "Blue Caps." 3 Vols. Aldershot: Gale and Polden, n. d. This unit, the Royal Dublin Fusiliers was part of the 29th Division. It was part of the disastrous attempt to use the steamer River Clyde at V Beach as a gangway for landing troops in the initial assault on Gallipoli. It also fought at Suvla, storming Scimitar Hill, and was part of the final evacuation. The best part of Wylly's account is the chapter about the early landings. 760. Wyrall, Everard. The Die-Hards in the Great War: A History of the Duke of Cambridge's Own (Middlesex Regiment) 1914-1919. 2 Vols. London: Harrison and Sons, 1926-1930.
