Compelled To Retire In Turkey
An official report from London dated August 25 discusses Gallipoli operations. It debunks rumors that British troops cut off or outflanked Turkish forces, noting ground gained was valuable but the objective remains unmet. Australians and New Zealanders reached Sari Bahr and Chanak Bahr, yet Suvla Bay landing stalled progress and forced a retreat. The British hold a twelve mile front on the peninsula and claim heavier Turkish losses, while weather and continued rains hinder operations on the eastern front and threaten artillery movement for the Germans against the Russians.
