 Battle of Krithia Vineyard - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Battle of Krithia Vineyard was intended as a minor British action at Helles on the Gallipoli peninsula to divert attention from the imminent launch of the August Offensive.
His replacement, Lieutenant General Francis Davies, arrived in early August but had not yet assumed command of the corps when a series of diversions were due to be launched from Anzac and Helles to divert Turkish attention from the planned landing at Suvla and break out from Anzac.
The Turkish casualties for the period of the battle were estimated to be around 7,000.
