xenithFrom The War Illustrated, 4 September 1915.
Our Camera Correspondent at the Dardanelles:
New Zealanders landing at a cove on Gallipoli. An animated scene of men, baggage, equipment, and stores extends some
hundreds of yards along the sea coat. The excitement of landing over, the dangers of Turkish shells evaded, the men from
"down under" will soon be in the allied trenches at handgrips with the Turks.
While some infantrymen are availing themselves of a welcome respite from the hot, dusty trenches and bathing in the pleasant
Dardanelles waters, a battery of artillery rattles along the sea-shore into action. It is about to take up a position facing Achi Baba.
There is a lackadaisical atmosphere typical of the Orient about the photograph. Certainly there is nothing suggestive of traditional
military discipline, the spick and spanness of Occidental manoeuvres. Some donkeys laden with a motley collection of erstwhile
petrol tins are processing along to the trenches. This is the water-supply column.
