FIELD ARTILLERY. 2/246 Driver S. J. Walsh. NOTES ON THE CAMPAIGN " * -OCCUPATION OiFmAIDOB. ' THE CONTROL OF THE NARROWS' / FORTS. 'The brief news -which related the occupation of Maidos by the advance guard of tho Allies' troops is of special interest and value, though up to the present it has not received official confirmation. A difficulty which is sure to be found by those who are following the events on the Gallipoli Peninsula is that it is only of small area. All the battlegrounds upon which interest has hitherto been centred have been of enormous extent. But the Gallipoli Peninsula is only 50 miles long and less than 15 across in its widest part; and for the purpose of dealing with the forts of fcbe Narrows, the whole field of action lies south of ithe neck which will be found close to Maidos — a space less than fifteen miles long, and eight miles across in its widest part. In an area of such a size, with messages coming afc long intervals and in the vaguest form, it is not possible to outline the sequence of operations without an official record as a guide ; and, compared with the slothful movement of the huge armies of the big battlefields, the forces on the Peninsula seem to move, on the map, with extraordinary rapidity. The British landing directed afc the Narrows /orts was made at Cape Helles, sixteen miles from Maidos by road. The Australasians landed at Gaba Tepe, nearly west of Maidos, and only about six miles away. Their ability to reach the Dardanelles coast and Maidos depended upon the extent of the opposition offered to them; and their objective was to sweep the Turks out of the Peninsnla to the north of the area near the Narrows. We have had no real information aa to their progress in this work ; but, the_ official report of the Press Bureau indicates plainly that the enemy has been handled with the utmost severity by the British trdops. Once the Turks are cleared out of this aTea, the serious work of reducing the Narrows forts from the land side can be begun. One of the Athens messages says that "the majority of tho Dardanelles defences have been invested " ; but this does not necessarily mean as much as might easily be read into the words. The fortified positions on the coast between Cape Helles and Maidos are about as numerous (perhaps more) as all the rest of the defences, on both shores; and they may be said to have been invested if a cordon of British troops now cuts them off from relief by land. It is hardly possible that siege operations have been carried to any advanced stage yet, considering that the armies have had little more than time to establish themselves ashore. The reduction of the forts must proceed methodically and as free as possible from interference by free Turkish forces. The first task of the British is therefore to secure a clear field and protect it from the arrival of fresh enemies. Meanwhile the Fleet is bombarding the forts, and it can in this way so occupy the j attention of the garrisons as to diminish i their power of preparing specially to resist the besiegers. So far the reports of the British progress have been confined to the doings of the forces ' which landed at Cape Helles and Galea Tepe. Only passing reference has been made to those who went ashore at Cape Suvla and Yeni Kioi Bay, near the Bulair Isthmus. The Cape Suvla force has very easy ground for miles to the east and south, and could operate without trouble in many directions, in co-operation with the bodies which landed at the southern points. comparative isolation of the Yeni Kioi landing place, and the report that the French landing on the Asiatic Coast at Kum Kale was a feint, suggest

that the Yeni Kioi landing, with its apparent threat on the Bulair Isthmus, may have been a feint, too. Once the forts are in process of siege and reduction, a land army might advance in a solid line successfully to the Bulair Isthmus from the south, sweeping the enemy from the whole of the peninsula, perhaps more rapidly and effectively than by independent parallel expeditions from the Gulf of Saros.
