Folks,
A lot has been written about the Land Campaign for the Gallipoli Peninsula in WW1. But very little has been written about how that bloody and in the end futile campaign would have been unnecessary if for the one time in its history the Royal Navy had the wrong admiral in charge.
I have found this June 1984 by the South African Military History Society to be without a doubt the best on this subject. And the maps are the only detailed ones I have ever seen.
If anyone is interested in the naval campaign that if it had been successful would most likely have kept the US out of WW1 and Russian not going into the horrors of a bloody civil war it is a great read.
