My talk to @gallipoliassoc.bsky.social on 25th March will cover depictions of Turks prior to the Great War. Robert Gibbs' famous painting of the 'Thin Red Line' at Balaklava is a good example. But there are no Turks shown... Exactly.

The two most prominent British war correspondents at #Gallipoli were Ellis Ashmead-Bartlett and Henry Nevinson. But only one of their books was cited as a source in the official British history of the campaign. Find out why in my talk for the @gallipoliassoc.bsky.social on 25th March.
