Guns of the one of the Turkish forts guarding the Dardanelles firing on the Anglo-French fleet. The first naval assault was on February 19, 1915, the major and final attack on March 18. The fort, and the lighthouse in the distance (likely that at Kum Kale) are on the southern, Asian side of the Dardanelles. The hills on the northern, European side of the strait are on the Gallipoli Peninsula. From a painting by Willy Stoewer.
