A view of V Beach from the S.S. River Clyde from 'Gallipoli' by John Masefield. V Beach was an Allied landing site at Cape Helles on the end of the Gallipoli Peninsula. On April 25, 1915, the day of the initial invasion, the collier S.S. River Clyde held 2,000 men who were to land on improvised gangways. So many fell to Turkish machine guns that the water was red with blood 50 yards from shore. |

The rescue of the crew of the Italian battleship Amalfi, July 7, 1915, sunk by Austrian submarine U-26. The submarine was German submarine UB-14, but, because Italy and Germany were not at war, sailed under as an Austro-Hungarian vessel. From a painting by Harry Heusser, 1915. The message on the reverse was written March 22, 1916, and the card postmarked from Vienna the same day. |
