Gallipoli campaign:
R B Gillett
On the landing at 'V' Beach, 25 April 1915.
Transcript: The sight that met our eyes was indescribable. The barges now linked together, and more or less reaching the shore, were plied high with mutilated bodies and between the last barge and the sand was a pier formed by piles of dead men. It was impossible to reach land without treading on the dead and, as Commander Samson had reported, the sea round the cove was red with blood.

You can listen to account of 'V Beach' landing:
R B Gillett
Today there are 33 Commonwealth war cemeteries on the Gallipoli peninsula. Two further memorials record the names of the British and Commonwealth soldiers who died there with no known graves. In all, 28,000 Britons, 10,000 Frenchmen, 7,595 Australians, 2,431 New Zealanders and 1,500 Indians were killed in the Allied attempt to seize control of the peninsula.
The proud Turkish victory, which kept a vital line of communication between Russia and its Western allies closed, came at an even greater cost. A total of 66,000 Turks lost their lives in the defence of Gallipoli; many Turkish army divisions had to rebuilt from scratch in 1916.
The following postcard shows the French battleship Bouvet, which struck a mine during the 18th March attack in 1915 and sank within minutes.

Well I have taken some questions about GALLIPOLI, WW1.And I decided to explain what had happened there.Let me clarify the GALLIPOLI,I would like to give some "fresh","war" letters,conversations and others here...
About Turkish Snipers in GALLIPOLI war,WW1
1-'Mrs. Horton of Spring-villas, Lyminster, has received interesting letters from her husband, Lance-Sergeant J. B. Horton, 4th Royal Sussex, who reports himself to be progressing favourably in hospital at Malta. He was one of the first Sussex men to be wounded in the landing at Suvla Bay, and in one letter he states: It is not a serious wound, considering how some poor fellows have been knocked about. The snipers are our worse enemies. There are hundreds of them in the trees, and in our own lines too! They are painted green like the trees, and are almost impossible to spot. There are women snipers, too. One of our snipers brought one out of a tree. She had 23 identification discs round her neck. I have had a lot of narrow shaves myself. It is an awful job to get water, because all the wells are marked by snipers, who have a pot at anyone getting water. I never knew how precious water was until now. I will tell you how I got hit. Harry Lillywhite and I had been getting water, and had got back just behind the firing line, and were resting under a tree, when a sniper go me at 2.15 pm. There happened to be an Arundel chap, stretcher-bearer, handy, so they carried me three miles to the base, and I was in the hospital ship by 6.30 and in bed. The Arundel chaps name was Lynn; he used to be in the band. He bandaged me up at first.....'
2-"Beyond the plain a number of stunted oaks, gradually becoming more dense farther inland, formed excellent cover for the enemy's snipers, a mode of warfare at which the Turk was very adept. Officers and men were continually shot down, not only by rifle fire from advanced posts of the enemy, but by men, and even women, behind our own firing line, especially in the previous attacks. The particular kind of tree in this part, a stunted oak, lends itself to concealment, being short with dense foliage. Here the sniper would lurk, with face painted green, and so well hidden as to defy detection. Others would crouch in the dense brushwood, where anyone passing could be shot with ease. When discovered, these snipers had in their possession enough food and water for a considerable period, as well as an ample supply of ammunition."

The History of The Norfolk Regiment
3-Mrs. Holden of Hillview-cottages, Steyning, has received a letter from Second Lieutenant F. Goring, 1/4 R.S.R. [Territorials], to whose platoon her son, Private C. J. Holden, recently wounded, was attached. Lieutenant Goring, during the course of it, stated that Private Holden was slightly wounded in their first advance by a spent bullet. He was going on well, and he was sorry to have lost him for a while from the platoon, as he was an excellent worker and one of his selected men for bomb throwing. Mrs. Holden has also received a letter from her son, Lance Corporal H. W. Holden, of the same Regiment. He says, I am feeling well myself, only a bit tired. The blooming Turks wont let us have much peace. They keep on getting fidgety night times, but they very soon get quietened down as a rule, when our chaps start .[sic] The only thing that worries us is not enough woodbines and the Turkish snipers. They are hot stuff at the game. Most of our chaps get wounded down by the well
Harry Holden survive being wounded in Gallipoli, and after transferring to the 13th battalion, died at Ypres in 1917

Orko,politik bölümde EU lu arkadaşlarımı epeyce sinirlendirmiş bulunmaktayım.Kendileri nerdeyse sinirden uçmuş durumdalar.Ne yazacaklarını şaşırdılar.Türkiye ye ufak kafalı bakanlara böyle mantıklı cevaplar verince,onlarca türkiye fotoğrafı gösterince susmak durumunda kalıyorlar,ve artık işi iyice kişiselliğe vuruyorlar. Neyse bende arada sırada kendimi böyle eğlendirmiş oluyorum.However...photos go on to posting...
Clearday; ben bu forumun fotograf bolumu disindaki kisimlarina hic girmiyorum. Avrupalilar ezberden konustuklari icin sadece sinir bozmaya yarar oyle tartismalar, ben sevmiyorum. Kaynakli, argumanli tartisma olursa amenna..
sp2c,
These APC's are produced by FNSS, a joint venture of Nurol Makina from Turkey and United Defense. The design is based on the same chassis as YPR-765, with some modifications, of course. The contract for 1698 armored vehicles (665 Armored Fighting Vehicles, 815 Armored Personnle Carriers, 48 Armored TOW Vehicles, 170 Armored Mortar Vehicles) was signed in 1989. All 1698 vehicles are produced. The contract for a second batch of 551 vehicles was signed in 2000, production is continuing, as far as I know.
Again, pictures from history... He-111's from Turkish Air Force:
Turkey purchased some tanks, FW-190A fighters (72), He-111 bombers and trainer aircrafts from Germany during 1940's. As far as I remember, the last purchase was in 1943.
