Framed watercolour, titled as above on the frame. It is also signed by the artist and dated, lower right, with two other inscriptions: one to lower left identifies the 'FORT of SEDDUL BAHR', the other the 'RIVER CLYDE' on the right. It is a dramatic and almost panoramic representation, and also a reasonably accurate depiction - the event being a particularly bloody episode of the landings against well-defended Turkish positions in the disastrous Dardanelles campaign. It is also unusual in that most other images show the starboard side of the 'River Clyde' (1905) or are impressions of the scene from on board the ship. The 'River Clyde' was a collier being used as a landing ship, the intention being for barges placed a head of her to act as a bridge for the troops she carried to get ashore. They proved difficult to get quickly into position and the men were mown down in hundreds by Turkish fire as they attempted to land.
