Dardanelles Fight Ends in Turkish Victory
A chaotic bombardment off the Dardanelles saw Turkish fortifications hold against a heavy Allied naval attack. British and French warships unleashed powerful shelling while Turkish artillery and ground forces defended the lines with discipline and effectiveness. Observers reported extensive shelling near Kanak Kalesi and damage to nearby Greek quarters, yet the Turkish positions largely withstood the onslaught, and the engagement drew toward late afternoon with ships shifting fires and the fort enduring intense bombardment.
