Grasping Gallipoli Terrain, Maps and Failure at the Dardanelles,1915

 

It is the perceived wisdom that the Gallipoli Campaign against the Turks in 1915 was deeply flawed and that inadequate planning and bad maps contributed to much unnecessary slaughter. Yet these two experts on terrain and mapping in the Great War contend that the consequences of this have been overplayed and by considering the evidence - both in little-used archives and studies of actual terrain features - they present the truth; that adequate intelligence was available in various forms but was either ignored or not correctly collated or distributed.
