A child soldier guarding the Dardanelles, points to a sinking folded paper boat. He stands on the northern, European side; a Turkish flag flies on the southern, Asian side. He wears a Turkish fez and what may be a German naval blouse. German officers, sailors, and artillery crews supplemented the Turkish defenders of the Dardanelles. On March 18, 1915, the Turks sank or badly damaged some of the French and British warships trying to break through to Constantinople, leading the Allies to end their attempt to force the Dardanelles.

Father in heaven, ruler of the sun,

Witness me who comes humbly before you!

I did not start the battle;

I did not scatter blood everywhere!

But surrounded by enemies and the envious,

I called my people to be strong as iron.

Let me experience the happy hour,

That today my soul dimly comprehends

And love unites the peoples of the earth.
