Abstract

Anzac Battlefield: A Gallipoli Landscape of War and Memory explores the transformation of Gallipoli's landscape in antiquity, during the famed battles of the First World War and in the present day. Drawing on archival, archaeological and cartographic material, this book unearths the deep history of the Gallipoli peninsula, setting the Gallipoli campaign in a broader cultural and historical context. The book presents the results of an original archaeological survey, the research for which was supported by the Australian, New Zealand and Turkish Governments. The survey examines materials from both sides of the battlefield, and sheds new light on the environment in which Anzac and Turkish soldiers endured the conflict. Richly illustrated with both Ottoman and Anzac archival images and maps, as well as original maps and photographs of the landscape and archaeological findings, Anzac Battlefield is an important contribution to our understanding of Gallipoli and its landscape of war and memory.

Abstract

Die Schlacht um Gallipoli war Großbritanniens bitterste Niederlage des Ersten Weltkrieges. Dieser Band beschäftigt sich mit der Perspektivierung des Feldzugs. Zum einen sollen die Operationen innerhalb des Ersten Weltkrieges verortet werden, zum anderen beschrieben werden, welche Rolle die „Unvollendetheit" Gallipolis gegenwärtig im nationalen Gedächtnis der Nachfolgestaaten des Britischen Empire. The Battle of Gallipoli was the Britain’s most bitter defeat of the First World War. This volume seeks to place the Dardanelles campaign in proper perspective. It situates Gallipoli in the larger context of the First World War, and describes the role played by the “inconclusiveness” of Gallipoli in the national memories of the successor states of the British Empire.

Abstract

Plus de 80 000 soldats français ont été envoyés aux Dardanelles en 1915 par un gouvernement réticent, dans une expédition improvisée et organisée à la hâte. Quand l'échec devint évident, les survivants ont été convoyés vers Salonique pour une autre expédition encore plus importante en Macédoine, au total près de 400 000 soldats français sont passés par cette armée d’Orient. Les soldats partaient avec appréhension vers l’inconnu, mais les mots de Constantinople, Orient et Grèce, leur rappelaient des visions littéraires agréables, à eux comme à leur famille qui ignoraient tout du pays. Leurs mémoires montrent que les réalités furent tout sauf agréables : conditions naturelles, climat, approvisionnement, équipement, munitions, maladies ; mais leur correspondance, censurée et autocensurée, ne dit rien de cela en France et la presse se tait. Tout au contraire, elle répand l’image des plaisirs de Salonique que peuvent connaître les officiers et les correspondants de presse, image qui restera après la guerre et fait que leur contribution à la victoire des alliés sera sous‑estimée. Leurs souffrances et leurs sacrifices sont ignorés, on les croit « planqués » au soleil. Chez eux, l’amertume est grande : ils comprennent que gagner Constantinople est impossible, ils constatent que la Macédoine ne ressemble pas à la Grèce de leurs rêves, que toutes les populations ne sont pas grecques et que, même les Grecs, ne sont pas toujours heureux de les voir. Alors pourquoi aller mourir loin de chez soi quand votre propre gouvernement vous abandonne, en quoi cela contribue‑t‑il à défendre la France ? Ce livre, nourri des mémoires et souvenirs émouvants des soldats, témoigne à la fois de leurs conditions de vie et de combat extrêmement difficiles, de la crise morale qu’ils ont vécue en Macédoine telle qu’ils l’ont découverte avec sa toute sa diversité. More than 80,000 French soldiers were sent to the Dardanelles in 1915 by a reluctant government, in a poorly prepared and poorly…

Abstract

Aubrey Herbert was one of the most interesting figures of his age. He was twice offered the Albanian throne! Born almost blind, his sight even after surgery precluded him from official military service and he became a diplomat and politician. However in 1914 he attached himself unofficially to the Irish Guards on the outbreak of war on their way to France and was made an honorary Lieutenant. Despite his service overseas in France, the Dardanelles and then Egypt and Iraq, he remained an MP throughout the War. He was briefly captured in the Retreat from Mons and, after recovering from his wounds

Abstract

Every year tens of thousands of Australians make their pilgrimages to Gallipoli, France and other killing fields of the Great War. It is a journey steeped in history. Some go in search of family memory, seeking the grave of a soldier lost a lifetime ago. For others, Anzac pilgrimage has become a rite of passage, a statement of what it means to be Australian. This book, first published in 2006, explores the memory of the Great War through the historical experience of pilgrimage. It examines the significance these 'sacred sites' have acquired in the hearts and minds of successive generations and charts the complex responses of young and old, soldier and civilian, the pilgrims of the 1920s and today's backpacker travellers. This book gives voice to history, retrieving a bitter-sweet testimony through interviews, surveys and a rich archival record. Innovative, courageous and often deeply moving, it explains why the Anzac legend still captivates Australians.

Abstract

Evliyā Çelebī’s Journey from Bursa to the Dardanelles and Edirne is comprised of an edition and translation of the relevant section from Evliyā’s Book of Travels detailing the 29-day journey he undertook in the autumn of 1659 from Bursa to Edirne via the Dardanelles strait. Evliyā travelled in the retinue of grand vizier Köprülü Mehmed Pasha and Sultan Mehmed IV, who was travelling to inspect the two castles that were being built at the southern tip of each side of the Dardanelles. This was the only trip that Evliyā made to the region between Bursa and Edirne. This edition also includes a detailed annotated index of people and places as well as the geographic coordinates of all the locations and buildings mentioned in the text.
