	First World War.com - Battles - The Landings at Suvla Bay, 1915
		Suvla Bay was large and ideal for the landing of a sizeable number of additional troops.
		In charge of the landings was Sir Frederick Stopford, a somewhat elderly general close to retirement age whose earlier wartime service had consisted of a ceremonial posting as Lieutenant of the Tower of London.
		In due course Colonel Mustafa Kemal was appointed by Liman to command of the sector (replacing the under-performing Feizi Bey).

		Secondly, he was planning an advance on the Suvla shores for the opening of the third front.
		Thus, as it was in the other fronts, Suvla front had turned out to be a positional war until the evacuation.
		However, for the Turks the situation was desperate and Liman von Sanders reinforced 8th Division with two regiments and gave Mustafa Kemal.

		They were to seize the commanding heights all around Suvla Bay namely Karokal Dagh and Kiretch Tepe Sirt to the north, with the Tekke Tepe range, Chocolate Hill and W Hills to the east.
		The irony was that at Suvla there were only three Turkish battalions and their defences were either illusory or, even when well dug in, lacking in barbed wire or machine guns.
		At Suvla a frontage of 20,000 yards was being held by only 50,000 troops when really 80,000 were required at the accepted defence ratio of four men per yard.

		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.

		Many paraded before their officers and protested against having to go on board the transports while the men on the peninsula after themselves were allowed to stay an hour or two longer.
		The 200 who formed the ultimate rear guard at Suvla were the first to land in August on the very spot where they held the final barrier until the embarkation of the last details were completed.

	Azmak Cemetery, Suvla, Gallipoli, Turkey
		The Allies landed on the peninsula on 25-26 April 1915; the 29th Division at Cape Helles in the south and the Australian and New Zealand Corps north of Gaba Tepe on the west coast, an area soon known as Anzac.
		On 6 August, further troops were put ashore at Suvla, just north of Anzac, and the climax of the campaign came in early August when simultaneous assaults were launched on all three fronts.
		The aim of the Suvla force had been to quickly secure the sparsely held high ground surrounding the bay and salt lake, but confused landings and indecision caused fatal delays allowing the Turks to reinforce and only a few of the objectives were taken with difficulty.

		The assignment of landing at Suvla Bay was given to the British 10th and 11th divisions, both Kitchener brigades seeing their first action.
		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.

	Azmak Cemetery, Suvla
		Suvla is the Northernmost of the three areas into which the fighting on Gallipoli, and the cemeteries on the Peninsula, are divided.
		Its occupation began with the landing of the IX Corps (10th (Irish) and 11th (Northern) Divisions) and the 53rd (Welsh) and 54th (East Anglian) Divisions, on the 6th-11th August, 1915, on either side of the low, sandy shores of Suvla Bay.
		The attack on "W" Hill (Ismail Oglu Tepe) and the first action of Hill 60 followed on the 21st August; the Suvla force and the Anzac troops were fighting to strengthen their point of junction.

		The primary aim of the British IX Corps was to establish a base at Suvla which could be used to supply the northern sector through the winter.
		The best access to Suvla is by the extension of the shore road from Anzac Cove (dry weather road only) or by the signposted road opposite the turnoff to Hill 60 cemetery.
		Scimitar Hill was a vital key to the Turkish defences as it overlooked Suvla to the north and west and the British positions on the lower hills of the Anafartalar Plain.

	Kitchener's and Hamilton's reports on Gallipoli - All About Turkey
		Unfortunately, however, the advance from Suvla Bay was not developed quickly enough, and the movement forward was brought to a standstill after an advance of about two and one-half miles.
		The result was that the troops from Anzac were unable to retain their position on the crest of the hills, and after being repeatedly counter-attacked they were ordered to withdraw to positions lower down.
		From the latter position a further attack on the Turkish entrenchments was delivered on the 21st, but after several hours of sharp fighting it was not found possible to gain the summit of the hills occupied by the enemy, and the intervening space being unsuitable for defense, the troops were withdrawn to their original position.

		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.

		Lala Baba was between Suvla Bay and the Salt Lake and was captured during the initial phase of the Suvla operations.
		In the course of the Suvla operations, a light railway was built here and food, ammunition and other stores were given some shelter by the Kiritch Tepe Ridge running along the edge of the Plain.
		Stopford, despite his obvious unsuitability, remained in command of IX Corps for several days into the Suvla enterprise before being dismissed by Hamilton, who was always reluctant to intervene with the actions of his subordinates.

		At the south flank of the landing area, the units who had set foot on land there carried out their task admirably : they conquered Lala Baba and then moved on north in the direction of Hill 10.
		One night and a day of fighting had not been very successful : not a single important height at the outskirts of Suvla plain was in possession of the landing force.

		The Suvla plan, which was a good plan, had failed because the wrong commanders and soldiers had been employed, and at Anzac the best officers and men were employed upon a plan that would not work.
		It had been a fiercer charge than the one at Suvla, more compact and much more desperate, and most of the Turks who took part in it were obliterated by the British artillery on the open slopes.
		But they managed to win back their lost trenches, and by midday on August 10 not a single height of any importance at Suvla or Anzac was in British hands.

		But they were let down by the supine actions of the British forces at Suvla Bay and by the Royal Navy's action in shelling New Zealand troops as they were storming the final ridge.
		That they were shelled (probably by friendly fire from their own artillery rather than by the navy) did not alter the outcome of the attack.
		As for the British at Suvla Bay, who were in any case Irish, it was no part of their function to assist the Australian attack.

		The feeling of all who have been at Anzac and Suvla must be one of relief, tempered of course with sorrow at the thought of the magnificent achievement without material gains.
		At Suvla they were assembled for the most part under the lee of the Chocolate Hills.
		A dry system of trenches along the front and a safe sap road along the beach provided a way whereby the Suvla troops could be sidled along to Anzac and there embarked under the shelter of the high cliffs.

	What is the Landing at Suvla Bay? - Blurtit
		The Landing at Suvla Bay was an amphibious landing that was completed at Suvla on the Aegean coast of Gallipoli peninsula in Turkey.
		The landing commenced on 6 August 1915, this was a hard attempt to hold a fight from the Anzac sector, which is located approximately five miles to the south.
		In spite of facing easy conflict, the landing at Suvla was mismanaged from the onset and rapidly reached the similar deadlock situation that prevailed on Anzac and Helles fronts.

		To divert attention from the Suvla landings, an intense assault was made on the Anzac front (an action dramatized in a recent Australian film entitled Gallipoli), but inexplicably the British forces were not ordered immediately to take the surrounding hills before the Turkish defenders had time to regroup.
		When, under the cover of intense artillery barrages, they finally moved out in force across the dry salt lake just inland from the bay (under water during our visit), they were prevented from advancing far enough to link up with the Anzac front.
		In mid-December the Suvla and Anzac beachheads were evacuated under cover of darkness over a period of several days.

		The landings at Suvla were intended to provide the allies with an opportunity to break the impasse at Helles and ANZAC.
		The British did indeed land at Suvla as planned, but that was all they did, loosing valuble time by waiting to get all their forces and equipment ashore before they attacked.
