The Legend of Gallipoli GALLIPOLI PENINSULA HISTORICAL NATIONAL PARK SIMULATION AND INFORMATION CENTER FOR THE LEGEND OF GALLIPOLI CO URE NSER REPUBLIC OF TURKEY AT VA N T F IO O N E A T N MINISTRY OF FORESTRY AND WATER AFFAIRS A D R O N T A C T E I O R GENERAL DIRECTORATE OF I N D A L L A P R A E R N K E S NATURE CONSERVATION AND NATIONAL PARKS G SIMULATION AND INFORMATION CENTER FOR THE LEGEND OF GALLIPOLI THE GALLIPOLI PENINSULA HISTORICAL NATIONAL PARK ANKARA-2012 1 2 Simulation and Information Center for The Legend of Gallipoli will revive the soul of Dardanelles… Without doubt, the Battle of Gallipoli, in which one of the greatest heroic legends that the world has ever witnessed was written, is not only a military victory, but also a name for a great battle of our nation won by faith and perseverance in a time of great necessity and poverty. The victory of Gallipoli has a great place in the heart of our nation not just for its being a blessed memory of our past but also for one of the strongest inspirational sources of our progress into Recep Tayyip ERDOĞAN the future. These lands where great heroic legends took place The Prime Minister of are indispensible for the Turkish Nation, and they carry a great the Republic of Turkey meaning for us. It is incumbent upon us to cherish the memory of our martyrs, to whom Mehmet Akif Ersoy, the poet of our National Anthem, addresses in his poem, To the Martyrs of Dardanelles: Who must dig a grave not narrow for you? If I say ‘Let’s bury you into the history’, there, you won’t fit into If I cover your wound with the descending veil of west in the evening, Again, I cannot say, for your memory, I did something. We have re-arranged war cemeteries for our martyrs and done the necessary maintenance. We are doing our best to introduce this golden chapter of our history in order to pass the sacred memories of our martyrs down to the next generations, and will continue to do so in the future too. Simulation and Information Center for The Legend of Gallipoli is one of the most remarkable works of Ministry of Forestry and Water Affairs in the Peninsula of Gallipoli in order to keep alive the soul of the Battles of Dardanelles. By the help of the Simulation and Information Center for The Legend of Gallipoli, the battle fought in Dardanelles will be explained more effectively to the next generations, how much an effort shown for these sacred country soils will be shown, and the soul of The Battles of Dardanelles will be enlivened. 3 4 With the Simulation and Information Center, The Legend of Gallipoli is meeting its stage in history. The Battle of Dardanelles is a turning point in both world and Turkish history. Gallipoli Peninsula, one of the most important points where an unforgettable heroism legend was written and where the spirit of Turkish War of Independence was flamed, carries a lot of meanings for our nation. Therefore, the Gallipoli Peninsula was declared a national park in 1973 because of its significance. We, as Ministry of Forestry and Water Affairs, are showing great effort in order to express our gratitude to our ancestors who gave a war of survival with their souls, blood, Prof. Dr. Veysel EROĞLU all their belongings, pay tribute to the memory of our martyrs, The Minister of Forestry and pass the story of The Battle of Dardanelles down to the next and Water Affairs generations and to inform the world in the most effective and truest way. We instigated this project when our Prime Minister, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan ordered: “Save the war cemeteries in Gallipoli from the state of neglect” upon his visit to the war cemeteries on March 18th, 2003 on the Day of Commemoration of the Dardanelles Sea Battles. By reconstructing and re-planning the places where the Battles of Dardanelles, a momentous war for Turkish and world history, took place, we have transformed the area into a center of attention with our works and investments. The number of visitors to the national park, which was 200.000 in 2002, has reached to 900.000 in 2011. Owing to the results of works carried out, 11 of the 28 war cemeteries have been opened to visits after being restored. As planned in the Long Term Development Plan, the Simulation and Information Center for the Legend of Gallipoli is the main part of our project which were instigated in order to introduce the Gallipoli peninsula Historical National Park to the visitors better, and pass our history down to the next generations. In The Simulation and Information Center for The Legend of Gallipoli, the Battles of Dardanelles will be presented to the visitors, and with the presentations prepared by the help of high technology. The visitors will feel as if they participated in the war in the scenarios of “Nusrat Minelayer”, “trench wars” and “Dardanelles is impassable”. I would like to express my heartfelt congratulations to the people on their praiseworthy effort in this project, which is important for our country and national identity to be introduced to the world. 5 Preface ........................................................................................................................... 8 CHAPTER I The Simulation and Information Center for The Legend of Gallipoli ...................... 11 Introduction ..............................................................................................................................11 The importance of the Simulation Center and the Necessity of its construction .............11 The themes shown in the chambers .......................................................................................15 ONTENTS The 1st Chamber: Ottoman State is entering the war ...........................................................15 C The 2nd Chamber: Nusrat Minelayer Ship ............................................................................16 The 3rd Chamber: The Sea War Plans of the Allied Countries ...........................................17 The 4th Chamber: Mecidiye Fort ............................................................................................18 The 5th Chamber: The preparations for the land battles .....................................................19 The 6th Chamber: The Climax of the War .............................................................................20 The 7th Chamber: Trench battles ............................................................................................21 The 8th Chamber: The Battle of Dardanelles from the Dome of the Sky ..........................22 The 9th Chamber: Dardanelles is impassable ........................................................................23 The 10th Chamber: Turkey from 1915 to the Present Day ..................................................24 The 11th Chamber: Memoirs ...................................................................................................25 The 12th Chamber: Conference Hall ......................................................................................26 The 13th Chamber: Exhibition Hall ........................................................................................26 The Technical Features of the Facility ......................................................................... 27 A.

  • Samai King Gifted and Talented Online Anzac Day: Why the Other Eight Months Deserve the Same Recognition As the Landing
    THE Simpson PRIZE A COMPETITION FOR YEAR 9 AND 10 STUDENTS 2016 Winner Western Australia Samai King Gifted and Talented Online Anzac Day: Why The Other Eight Months Deserve The Same Recognition As The Landing Samai King Gifted and Talented Online rom its early beginnings in 1916, Anzac Day and the associated Anzac legend have come to be an essential part of Australian culture. Our history of the Gallipoli campaign lacks a consensus view as there are many Fdifferent interpretations and accounts competing for our attention. By far the most well-known event of the Gallipoli campaign is the landing of the ANZAC forces on the 25th of April, 1915. Our celebration of, and obsession with, just one single day of the campaign is a disservice to the memory of the men and women who fought under the Anzac banner because it dismisses the complexity and drudgery of the Gallipoli campaign: the torturous trenches and the ever present fear of snipers. Our ‘Anzac’ soldier is a popularly acclaimed model of virtue, but is his legacy best represented by a single battle? Many events throughout the campaign are arguably more admirable than the well-lauded landing, for example the Battle for Lone Pine. Almost four times as many men died in the period of the Battle of Lone Pine than during the Landing. Statistics also document the surprisingly successful evacuation - they lost not even a single soldier to combat. We have become so enamored by the ‘Landing’ that it is now more celebrated and popular than Remembrance Day which commemorates the whole of the First World War in which Anzacs continued to serve.

  • April 1915 / Avril 1915
    World War I Day by Day 1915 – 1918 April 1915 / Avril 1915 La premiere guerre mondiale De jour en jour 1915 – 1918 Friends of the Canadian War Museum – Les amis du Musée canadien de la guerre https://www.friends-amis.org/ © 2019 FCWM - AMCG 9 April 1915 The Bunsen Committee: The powerbroker for the Middle East The British Government was puzzled by what would follow a victory against the Ottoman Empire. All major powers of Europe had a stake in the Middle East and the division of the spoils would inevitably bring some difficulties. For a full century, the carving of the Sick Man of Europe had been postponed by conferences to avoid European wars. Prime Minister Asquith therefore created a committee, on 9 April 1915, under a senior Foreign Office diplomat, Maurice de Bunsen, to propose a policy in regard to the division of the Middle East among Allies. The Bunsen Committee had representatives from the Colonial Office, the Admiralty, the India Office and other relevant departments. The War Office was officially represented by General Sir Charles Calwell, but Kitchener Colonel Sir Tatton Benvenuto Mark Sykes, 6th Baronet (16 March 1879 – 16 February 1919) insisted that he should have his own personal representative on the Committee. That representative was Sir Mark Sykes, a Member of Parliament who was well known as a Kitchener hand with some experience in Constantinople, and who would turn out to influence the committee to the point of singlehanded direction. This committee will produce a first report in June 1915 but will continue as a think-tank for the British government on Middle Eastern developments.

  • “Come on Lads”
    “COME ON LADS” ON “COME “COME ON LADS” Old Wesley Collegians and the Gallipoli Campaign Philip J Powell Philip J Powell FOREWORD Congratulations, Philip Powell, for producing this short history. It brings to life the experiences of many Old Boys who died at Gallipoli and some who survived, only to be fatally wounded in the trenches or no-man’s land of the western front. Wesley annually honoured these names, even after the Second World War was over. The silence in Adamson Hall as name after name was read aloud, almost like a slow drum beat, is still in the mind, some seventy or more years later. The messages written by these young men, or about them, are evocative. Even the more humdrum and everyday letters capture, above the noise and tension, the courage. It is as if the soldiers, though dead, are alive. Geoffrey Blainey AC (OW1947) Front cover image: Anzac Cove - 1915 Australian War Memorial P10505.001 First published March 2015.

This articlereviews the literary accounts of the migration and presentsthe relevantarchaeological evidence, with a focuson newmaterial from Troy. No onearea played a dominantrole in colonizing Aiolis, nor is sucha widespread colonizationsupported by the archaeologicalrecord. But the aggressive promotionof migrationaccounts after the PersianWars provedmutually beneficialto bothsides of theAegean and justified the composition of the Delian League. Scholarlyassessments of habitation in thenortheast Aegean during the EarlyIron Age are remarkably consistent: most settlements are attributed toAiolian colonists who had journeyed across the Aegean from Thessaly, Boiotia,Akhaia, or a combinationof all three.1There is no uniformityin theancient sources that deal with the migration, although Orestes and his descendantsare named as theleaders in mostaccounts, and are credited withfounding colonies over a broadgeographic area, including Lesbos, Tenedos,the western and southerncoasts of theTroad, and theregion betweenthe bays of Adramyttion and Smyrna(Fig. 1).

  • 1 Introduction the General Experiences of Australian Prisoners
    Introduction The general experiences of Australian prisoners of war in World War I have been neglected in both official and general war histories and accounts of the Anzac tradition. Even more neglected however are the experiences of Australian soldiers captured in theatres of war throughout the Ottoman Empire, including those captured at Gallipoli. Most examples of prisoner of war (POW) writing have concentrated on World War II POWs and the Japanese experience in particular.1 In the Australian War Memorial’s (AWM) collection dealing with Australian war captivity, for example, almost two thirds are concerned with World War II prisoners of the Japanese. Only ‘a tiny one percent’ is devoted to prisoners of the Turks.2 In the event that prisoners of war in Turkey are acknowledged, few sources are consulted. Selected memoirs and autobiographies are used uncritically without corroboration of other historical sources, particularly Turkish sources, to produce an overall picture of unrelieved brutality. It has been suggested that this historical neglect of prisoners of war can be explained by their representations of military failure, creating a sense of national shame. The fact that they have been captured suggests failure of leadership and planning at the highest level and also calls into question ‘the notion which has long been central to our national self-image, that our soldiers are especially competent fighters’.3 It is noteworthy in this context that the source of the Anzac tradition – the Gallipoli campaign – has not produced a scholarly study of the 1 See the following for an assessment of writers on prisoners of war (hereafter POWs): R.
