Summary[edit source | hide | hide all]
Landing a Big Gun in Gallipoli.
How heavy a task is the disembarkation of big guns may be gathered from the enormous number of men seen in the above photograph engaged in dragging one of these artillery monsters up the beach at the southern end of the Gallipoli Peninsula. The officer who took the photograph describes it as follows: "4 Landing heavy guns at Cape Helles by men of the Queen Elizabeth' and R.N.D. (Royal Naval Division). All these men are pulling one gun up the slope. Here the main landing took place. This is the scene of the heaviest fighting of all. Base is being established here. The beach is shelled regularly each evening." At the foot of the cliffs in the background, just to the left of and a little below the tents half-way up the slope, is a grave in which 82 men and 5 officers were buried.
