The Turkish Defeat on the Suez Canal, c1915, (1919). Creator: Unknown
The Turkish Defeat on the Suez Canal, c1915, (1919). Scene from the First World War: The Turkish attacks on the Suez Canal [in Egypt] resulted disastrously. The German-inspired scheme of crossing the Canal on pontoons laboriously dragged across the desert was a hopeless failure, and the photograph well illustrates the heavy price paid for the enterprise. The few who reached the further side of the Canal left their bones to bleach in the desert. From " The History of the Great European War: its causes and effects", Vol. IV, by W. Stanley Macbean Knight. [Caxton Pulishing Company, Limited, London, 1919]
