Description

Sedd el Bahr (in modern Turkish: Seddülbahir) castle in 1915 during the Battle of Gallipoli.

Photo from The War Illustrated, 19 June, 1915. Caption reads:

A FALLEN TURKISH STRONGHOLD—Picturesque view of the ruins of the Seddul Bahr fort, with the town to the left. It was on the foreshore before this fort that the British troops landed in May and, after strenuous fighting, captured the fort that stands before the Turkish town. Seddul Bahr is at the Ægean extremity of the Dardanelles Strait, on the European side. The other great enemy stronghold, facing Seddul Bahr, and situated on the Asiatic shore, is Kum Kale. Seddul Bahr formed one of the most important Turkish strongholds guarding the Dardanelles Strait and the shore of the Peninsula of Gallipoli, that fateful and, in point of size, insignificant strip of land that is the only barrier to the heart of Islam.
