V Beach at Cape Helles on the Gallipoli peninsula.

V Beach at Cape Helles on the Gallipoli peninsula. The photographer is looking east from the foreshore showing the temporary pier built to assist the unloading of stores and personnel into the narrow bridgehead and the evacuation of wounded. A small track-mounted crane is on the pier and two local sailing craft are berthed against the far side of the pier. There are people on the pier and a man is paddling in the foreground while another is sitting on a rock with his feet in the water. The foreshore is piled high with discarded wartime material. This is the beach where the Dublin Fusiliers landed from the converted collier River Clyde (1905) on 25 April 1915.
