	Third Battle of Krithia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Third Battle of Krithia, fought on the Gallipoli peninsula during World War I, was the final in a series of Allied attacks against the Turkish defences aimed at capturing the original objectives of April 25, 1915.
		The other innovation of the third battle was the use of eight armoured cars of the Royal Naval Air Service which were to advance along the main Krithia road in support of the Royal Naval Division's advance.
		By the end of the battle their new front line was a mere 200 to 250 yards in front of their start line, passing through a patch of vines that earned the area the name of 'The Vineyard' which was to be the site of heavy fighting in August.

	Battle of Gully Ravine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The preceding Third Battle of Krithia and the attack at Gully Ravine had limited objectives and had much in common with the trench warfare prevailing on the Western Front.
		The battle began at 10.45 am on June 28 with a preliminary raid to capture the Boomerang Redoubt on Gully Spur.
		The artillery fire on Gully Spur was overwhelming and the 2/10th Battalion of the Gurkha Rifles and the 2nd Battalion of the Royal Fusiliers advanced rapidly a distance of half a mile to a point named "Fusilier Bluff" which was to become the northern-most Allied position at Helles.

	First World War.com - Battles - The Third Battle of Krithia, 1915
		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.

		The commander of the Y Beach landing was able to walk unopposed to within 500 metres of Krithia village, which was deserted.
		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.
		The repeated failure of the Allies to capture Krithia or make any progress on the Helles front led Hamilton to pursue a new plan for the campaign which resulted in what is now called the Battle of Sari Bair.

	Gallipoli: The Facts & the Myths
		Their successful defence of their lines at Krithia in May was significant in the final outcome of the campaign.
		Execution of the plan was delayed, partly because of the worst accident in the history of railways in Britain, when at Gretna Green on their way south 210 officers and men of the Royal Scots were killed and 224 injured.
		The Turks, too, suffered heavily in these battles, but Kemal threw all his reserves into the biggest assault of the campaign on 10 August at Chanuk Bair and The Pinnacle against the Allied front trenches in the Anzac section.

		At the beginning of the "Second Battle of Krithia" the Indian Brigade was in reserve and was not seriously engaged.
		The Sikhs' two machine guns were not to move forward until the trench J I 1 was captured; their first task was to bring oblique fire to bear on the trenches J 10 and J 11 so as to assist the Lancashire Fusiliers.
		After this battle the Indian Brigade moved forward and held a front on the extreme left of the Anzac defences, extending north from Hill 60 and joining up with the XI Corps at Suvla.

		The fighting in Gallipoli was bitter and, as the detailed histories of the battle show, on two occasions the Allies came close to complete victory.
		During the June battles, when a serious situation developed in an area of the front, two mules with urgent supplies of ammunition and food had to be taken up under intense fire.
		As the men battled with the biting wind and cold of Gallipoli, Trumpeldor himself was wounded in the left shoulder by a rifle bullet on 19 December, but refused to be evacuated and remained in command.

		Amongst their ranks were the sailors of the Collingwood Battalion, who had done much of their military training in the practice trenches surrounding Blandford Camp during the winter of 1914/15.
		The battle started with a heavy bombardment and at 1200 hours the RND advanced and captured the enemy front line but suffered heavy causalities.
		At 1215 hours the Collingwood Battalion was to take over the advance but the communication trenches were choked with stretcher-bearers and wounded, which delayed the Battalion's move forward.

		The barren landscape - of no value itself other than for its command of the seaway - was the backdrop to an horrific campaign between April 1915 and January 1916 in which upwards of 100,000 men lost their lives.
		For the Allies it was a battle fought in vain for the invasion forces were withdrawn for no gain, but for the Turkish Army it was a marvellous victory in what they refer to as their Canakkale War.
		Steve Newman has visited Gallipoli several times in his study of the campaign and he spent a strenuous ten days on the peninsula in June 1999 to take the comparisons in a temperature of over 100 degrees!
