	Battle of Lemnos (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Three notable battles, two of which were naval engagements, took place at the island of Lemnos located in north west of the Aegean sea.
		Vital to this plan was the capture of the Turkish held port of Moudros on the southern coast of the island of Lemnos.
		This, the final naval battle of the First Balkan War, forced the Ottoman navy to retreat to its base within the Dardanelles, where it did not venture from for the rest of the war.

	The Internet Classics Archive \| The History of Herodotus by Herodotus
		This was Antidorus of Lemnos, whom the Athenians rewarded for his desertion by the present of a piece of land in Salamis.
		For the commander of the Athenian trireme, when he saw her bear down on one of the enemy's fleet, thought immediately that her vessel was a Greek, or else had deserted from the Persians, and was now fighting on the Greek side; he therefore gave up the chase, and turned away to attack others.
		Thus in the first place she saved her life by the action, and was enabled to get clear off from the battle; while further, it fell out that in the very act of doing the king an injury she raised herself to a greater height than ever in his esteem.

		The Greeks were able to align 353 triremes, but when battle to break the siege of Miletos was engaged, some of the Greek contingents lost heart and deserted, with the result that the Persians stormed the city and destroyed it; its inhabitants were sold as slaves.
		After the great land battle of Plataia in 480 B.C., which was mainly a Spartan victory even though Athenians participated in it, patriotic Athenians tried to magnify their victory at Marathon into another great land battle in order to prove that Athens had not done less than Sparta in defeating the Persians in land battles.
		The figure of the men engaged at Marathon was not preserved because at the moment of the battle this was not particularly important; it was the nature, the location, and the timing of the operations that proved decisive.

	Naval Battle of Lemnos (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)

	Summary of and commentary on Herodotus' Histories, book 6
		The famous battle of Marathon was probably fought on 12 August 490.
		It was unusual that Greek warriors were buried on the battle field; the example of this burial must have been the famous poem the Iliad, where we read how the heroes of the Trojan war received burials on the battle field.
		Whatever the truth, it is certain that cavalry took part in the final stages of the battle, because at least one Persian horseman was depicted in a contemporary painting representing the battle (in the Athenian building known as Stoa Poikilê).

		Wars with Genoa or with other powers were eagerly sought-after opportunities to loot the enemy's shipping with clouds of corsairs, and victory or defeat usually depended more on the success of the privateering than on the direct combat of the galleys, cogs, and soldiers of the battle fleets.
		Through decades of treachery and mayhem, the Venetians were able to establish themselves as the leading entrepot port of the Mediterranean world, where, as in London up to 1914, the vast bulk of the world's strategic commodities were brought for sale, warehousing, and transshipment.
		In the East, the Ottoman Turks were beginning to recover from the crushing defeat that the Turkish Emperor Bajazet had suffered in 1402 at the battle of Ankara at the hand of Tamerlane the Great.

		October 1915 Reasonable to suppose Dead: Finding of Board of Enquiry held at Sorpi Camp Lemnos, signed N. Fitzherbert, O.C. New Zealand Records Section.” So they obviously did not actually recover his body and he was just one of the many New Zealand soldiers killed that day.
		A sad end to a loved son, brother and friend and a fate shared by so many fine men.
		We have no photos of Edward, no living person who remembers him but I know that his brother Gordon felt his loss keenly and named his only son after him, only to lose him also in battle during WWII.
