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. A local sailing craft is by the end of the pier. The ruins of Sedd el Bahr Fort are in the background. There is discarded wartime material near the pier and many tourists are wandering about. This is the beach where the Dublin Fusiliers landed from the converted collier River Clyde (1905) on 25 April 1915.
