		In the Third Battle of Krithia on June 4 all thought of a decisive breakthrough was gone and the plans for battle had reverted to trench warfare with objectives being measured in hundreds of metres.
		At Anzac, an attack on the Turkish trenches at Lone Pine by the infantry brigades of the Australian 1st Division was a rare victory for the Anzacs.
		Defeat at the Battle of Romani marked the end of that ambition and for the remainder of the war the British were on the offensive in the Middle East.

		With only modest progress accompanying the Allied attack at the Second Battle of Krithia in the first week of May 1915, regional Commander-in-Chief Sir Ian Hamilton urged his local commander Aylmer Hunter-Weston at Helles to maintain a policy of "ceaseless initiative" against the Turkish lines stretched some 7km across the southern tip of the peninsular.
		For the most part however the period between the Second and Third Battles comprised a period of particularly unpleasant trench warfare for the combined British and French force sited at Helles.
		Battle was duly renewed at noon on a sunny, breezy 4 June and was the result of a joint initiative between Hunter-Weston and the newly-arrived (15 May) French commander Henri Gouraud.

		Following the failure of the first Allied attempt to capture the village of Krithia and its prominent hill feature Achi Baba on 28 April 1915 a second attempt was initiated on 6 May.
		Liman was acting under instructions from Turkish minister of war Enver Pasha to deny Hunter-Weston's force access to Krithia and Achi Baba, and with it the danger of evicting Turkish defenders from the heights overlooking the Dardanelles Straits.
		In the interim fighting on the Gallipoli peninsular took on the form of trench warfare similar to that seen on the Western Front, with the critical difference that the Allied force found it highly problematic to construct trench lines that were not readily accessible to Turkish shellfire.
