The town of Chanak. where the small British force is entrenched, is seen on the Asia Minor side of the Dardanelles. It is the strongest position in the international territory, for it dominates the Narrows of the Straits. Kemal’s purpose is apparently to close the Dardanelles and bottle the British fleet in the Sea of Marmara. The boundary of the zone internationalised under the Sevres Treaty passes about 50 miles south of Chanak. (Scale of map 20 miles to one inch.)
