	The Great War Society: 90th Anniversary - Second Landing at Gallipoli
		Suvla Bay was north of ANZAC cove, which had been the scene of some of the heaviest fighting of the campaign.
		In the aftermath of the Suvla Bay landings, Hamilton shifted the British 53rd, 54th, and 29th divisions to reinforce the troops at Suvla Bay and attempted a final breakout on August 21 with the assaults on Scimitar Hill and Hill 60.
		In the end, the August landings were the last desperate attempt to right the wrong that was the Gallipoli campaign and when the inexperienced British troops at Suvla Bay were pushed back, the end was near.

	Landing at Suvla Bay - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The landing at Suvla Bay was an amphibious landing made at Suvla on the Aegean coast of Gallipoli peninsula in Turkey as part of the August Offensive, the final British attempt to break the deadlock of the Battle of Gallipoli.
		The Suvla landing was to be made by the newly formed British IX Corps, initially comprising two brigades of the 10th (Irish) Division and the entire 11th (Northern) Division.
		The objective of IX Corps was to seize the ring of hills that surrounded the Suvla plain; Kiretch Tepe to the north along the Gulf of Saros, Tekke Tepe to the east and the Anafarta Spur to the south-east.

		It was planned to land five new divisions to reinforce the ANZAC corps and effect a landing at Suvla Bay to capture Koja Chemen Tepe, the highest point on the Sari Bair range, then cross the peninsula from Gaba Tepe to Maidos.
		A brigade was to be landed north of the entrance to the salt lake.
		For the Suvla operation, the concentration of the force was greatly facilitated by the use of the large cunarders, Mauretania and Aquitania.

	Battle of Gallipoli
		The Helles landing was made by the 29th Division under the command of Major-General Aylmer Hunter-Weston, on five beaches in an arc about the tip of the peninsula, designated from east to west as S, V, W, X and Y beach.
		The main landings were made at V Beach, beneath the old SeddÃ¼lbahir fortress, and at W Beach, a short distance to the west on the other side of the Helles headland.
		The Suvla landing was reinforced by the arrival of the British 53rd and 54th Divisions plus the dismounted yeomanry of the 2nd Mounted Division.

		Liman placed a single division under Colonel Mustafa Kemal at the peninsula's southernmost tip; and the final division was placed on standby as a reserve force in the heart of the peninsula.
		The landing at Cape Helles on the peninsula's southern tip, which was badly mismanaged by Aylmer Hunter-Weston, was at five locations ('Y', 'X', 'W', 'V' and 'S' Beaches) and consisted of 35,000 men.
		Three days after the 25 April landings Hamilton determined to extend the Allied position in the south with attacks directed towards Krithia to which the Turkish force at Helles had retired.

	Amphibious Warfare: First World War
		In August 1915, British forces attempted to break the stalemate on the Gallipoli peninsula with a second amphibious landing at Suvla Bay, north of the beachheads established that April.
		At Suvla Bay, destroyers towed the beetles into position before being cut loose for their runs to the beach.
		At Nibruseni Point at the mouth of Suvla Bay, the armored lighters worked well, depositing the first wave ashore and shuttling back and forth to the waiting destroyers to embark additional troops from the assault echelon.

	Amphibious Warfare: First World War
		Hamilton's plan involved an amphibious landing by the British 29th Division on five beaches at Cape Helles, a decision driven by a lack of beach space and a shortage of ship-to-shore lift.
		Both were designed to cover the main landing beaches farther south on the cape, and to potentially threaten the lines of communication of their Turkish defenders.
		Units from the five-division IX Corps were to land at Suvla Bay, to the north of the Anzac beach, on 6 August 1915.

	Gallipoli Campaign - MSN Encarta
		The campaign remained virtually static until a reinforced assault was undertaken in August to protect a British landing at Suvla Bay, north of the main Anzac positions.
		Undue caution by British commanders and the difficulties of the terrain combined with vigorous Turkish resistance under the leadership of Mustapha Kemal (later Kemal Atatürk, President of Turkey), with the German commander, Otto Liman von Sanders, to render progress impossible, and a stalemate ensued.
		On Anzac Day, the dawn landing at Anzac Cove is commemorated by dawn services, which are followed by huge marches of veterans from all wars; thousands of Australians and New Zealanders flock to the Gallipoli peninsula.

	Sir Ian Hamilton's Third Despatch
		Suvla Bay was but one mile further from Mudros than Anzac, and its possession would ensure us a submarine-proof base and a harbour good against gales, excepting those from the south-west.
		We believed that the Turks were still unsuspicious about Suvla and that their only defences near that part of the coast were a girdle of trenches round Lala Baba and a few unconnected lengths of fire trench on Hill 10 and on the hills forming the northern arm of the bay.
		Arrangements for the landing of the 9th Corps at Suvla were worked out in minute detail by my General Headquarters Staff in collaboration with the staff of Vice-Admiral de Robeck, and every precaution was taken to ensure that the destination of the troops was kept secret up to the last moment.

		The dashed hopes of the 25 April landings (Alci Tepe was the objective of the 29th Division on 25 April) were rekindled several times during the summer before it was completely appreciated that the Helles front was as hopelessly stuck as the front at Anzac.
		In the original plan for the landing, the covering force was to capture the heights on the northern side of the plain.
		The prominent hills on the edge of the Suvla Plain are, from west to east, the W Hills, Scimitar Hill, and the twin summits of Chocolate Hill and Green Hill.

	The Forum of the 1.Jagdmoroner Abteilung - The wrong beach !!
		Due to off-shore currents the troops were landed at the foot of a 300 ft almost precipitous hill.
		According to Carlyon, there are several possible reasons for landing on the wrong beach: the battleships anchored too far north at the wrong place, navy crews mistook Ari Burnu for Gaba Tepe, or a northerly current swept the boats off course.
		A landing at Helles to draw in the Turks (More troops than used in the actual assault) then a follow up landing at Suvla (for example) to swing around and box in the Turks (Who could get across the Dardenalles by sea anyway.

		In addition, the British forces would have the advantage of surprise because they were striking from the sea against the land.
		When the British force under General Sir Ian Hamilton finally landed on April 25, the Ottoman troops had had more than a month to prepare under the leadership of German general Liman von Sanders and the commander of the 19th division, Mustafa Kemal (later Mustafa Kemal Atatürk).
		British and French troops landed at the Greek port of Salonika the same month to try to help Serbia, but they were too late.

		The landing was only lightly opposed by scattered Turkish units until Mustafa Kemal, commanding the 19th Division and perceiving the threat posed by the landings, rushed reinforcements to the area in what became a race for the high ground.
		On the night of August 6 a fresh landing of two infantry divisions was to be made at Suvla, five miles north of Anzac.
		Suvla and Anzac were to be evacuated in late December, the last troops leaving before dawn on December 20.

	Breakout from Suvla
		General Hamilton sought a means of breaking the stalemate, and conceived a further landing on the west coast of the Gallipoli Peninsular, at Suvla Bay.
		The landing was designed to outflank the Turkish forces under the command of Mustapha Kemel which had so effectively stopped the ANZAC forces.
		Designing a scenario to re-fight any aspects of the allied landings at Suvla Bay presents the classic dilemma for a scenario designer: the landings were characterized by ineptitude on the part of the British commanders, particularly General Stopford.

		This was because no observers were trained by the RNAS prior to the Dardanelles expedition and so four were obtained from the RFC contingent and the rest had to be taken from local forces and trained on the spot.
		It seems that his attachement was prior to the 10th Londons landing at Suvla Bay on 11 August 1915.
		His work confirmed that the Turkish gun positions were not occupied during the Suvla Bay landings on 6 and 7 August.

		Sep 26 2003, 11:51 AM I have lately been reading a number of accounts of the British landing at Suvla Bay and was wondering who the Pals thought should be held responsible for the failure to exploit a potential campaign winning opportunity.
		Firstly the question posed refers solely to the Suvla Landings, so I think we should disregard other aspects of the campaign (especially the charge at the Nek) remembering that poor performance might be distributed otherwise outside of Suvla.
		None the less his dogged insistence on waiting for good artillery support, which might be regarded as a Western Front tactic and the decision to dig in and establish the landing positions clearly ensured that the British were not able to take the initiative.

		A new landing at Suvla Bay by the 9th Army Corps, which would pass over the Suvla Flats early on the morning of August 7, and linking up with the left flank of the army from Anzac, would press up towards the height of Koja Chemen Tepe, to prolong the line towards the Anafarta villages.
		It was the most important capture, so far, in the whole campaign; but the Suvla army still clung to the low ground at Suvla, leaving the Australians with their left flank out in the air waiting for the necessary support to carry them on to victory up the Abdel Rahman.

	12th Light Horse at Gallipoli
		In August, the time was at hand to increase the scope of the campaign with the British landing at Suvla Bay.
		To cover this landing, the Anzac Corps was to deliver a series of faints and attacks to draw the Turkish reserves down on them.
		Since the Sqn's strength on landing was around 170 and that B and C Sqn received the major share of the 2nd reinforcements, perhaps the total casualties to the 12th LH were as high as 60%.

		The land games feature a Cape Helles landing, the Anzac Cove landing, and the Suvla Bay landing coupled with an attempted Anzac Cove breakout.
		In each scenario the British are trying to seize the highest ground on the map, but elevation confers a defensive benefit as the attackers move up each contour line.
		The Anzac Cove breakout failed, the Suvla bay landing got to the foothills and no further, the Fleet lost two battleships and a few minesweepers and washed out back to the Med.

		Our brigadier explained to us that we would get our issue after the landing was made, as it was essential for us to be in full possession of our faculties as the lines of the infantry were dependent on the accuracy of our communications.
		The second day of the 'Suvla Bay' landing, General Mahon had taken 'Chocolate Hill' (see map) and I was sent with a congratulatory message from my brigadier.
		On landing, we entrained for London, finally arriving at the Crystal Palace where, after a couple of hours I drew ration allowances and some monies due me and was finally discharged.
