What is Happening at Gallipoli?

Saturday 8th May 1915: The struggle near Ypres must not blind us to the fighting going on in far-away Turkey, on the Gallipoli peninsula. Allied troops – British, French, Indian, New Zealand and Australian landed here on 25th April and have been confined to the area of their initial landings by stiffening Turkish resistance.

On 6th May attacks were made by our forces along four spurs separated by steep gullies. The difficulty of the terrain prevented any substantial advance and another attack was tried yesterday. Some success was achieved by the colonial troops but an overall, concerted advance proved impossible. Despite this set-back it is hoped that success eventually may be forthcoming.
