Today on the @istoriatravel.bsky.social Gallipoli tour was all about terrain. Deep gulleys, imposing cliffs & plenty of inescapable high ground made moving across the peninsula punishing. It could never have been as easy as the plan demanded. With @alexchurchill.bsky.social & @peterhart.bsky.social

After Gully Beach it was a long trek up Gully Ravine to mirror the march to the front lines in this sector. The second image is the British front line #Gallipoli 🇹🇷 @peterhart.bsky.social @istoriatravel.bsky.social @seaspitfires.com @danielmcandrew.bsky.social

Here’s Gully Beach - not a landing spot but pivotal. The wreck is the lighter that Gen. Maude was supposed to escape the peninsula on. After it sank he did a mad dash towards W Beach to avoid getting stranded. (That’s a long way) 🇹🇷 @istoriatravel.bsky.social @seaspitfires.com @peterhart.bsky.social
