Lancashire Fusiliers of the 125th Brigade, 42nd (East Lancashire) Division, bound for Cape Helles, Gallipoli, May 1915. The soldiers have just disembarked aboard Trawler 318 from the transport SS Nile, from the deck of which the photo was taken.

Photo by Lt. Ernest Brooks.

Photo published in The War Illustrated, 12 June 1915, attributed to correspondent Ellis Ashmead-Bartlett. Caption reads:

Some of the Empire's soldiers going ashore at the Dardanelles, having just left the transport S.S. Nile. Like their comrades in France and Flanders, these men who are about to help towards the ultimate victory over the Turks, are cheerful and optimistic. These photographs were taken by Mr. Ashmead-Bartlett, who was in H.M.S. Majestic when she was torpedoed.

Imperial War Museum catalogue number Q 13219.
