V Beach at Cape Helles on the Gallipoli peninsula.
V Beach at Cape Helles on the Gallipoli peninsula. The photographer is looking east across the landing beach showing the cemetery in the foreground with the temporary pier built to assist the unloading of stores and personnel into the narrow bridgehead and the evacuation of wounded. Local sailing craft and a cruise ship's motor lifeboat are alongside the pier. The ruins of Sedd el Bahr Fort are in the left background. There is much wartime detritus at the top of the beach. This is the beach where the Dublin Fusiliers landed from the converted collier River Clyde (1905) on 25 April 1915.
