Gallipoli is nearly forgotten today, but until World War II the 1915 Allied invasion of the Turkish-held Gallipoli Peninsula was the largest amphibious operation in modern military history. Unfortunately for the Allies, it also was a numbing series of blunders and lost opportunities. In nine months of fighting they reached none of their objectives. They suffered 252,000 casualties. Turkish losses were about equal.

The career of Winston Churchill, who 'as First Lord of the British Admiralty was held largely responsible for the campaign, went Into abrupt decline. He later was vindicated. To mark the 50th anniversary of Gallipoli, a group of 350 Australian and New Zealand veterans, called Anzacs, will tour the battlefields across the Dardanelles from this little provincial capital. Turks will welcome them and join in simple ceremonies. Trenches in the precipitous heights along the southern coast are weed-choked now and all but hidden from -view.

"Rusty bully beef cans, ammunition canisters and rotting boots lie in jumbled heaps under scraggly, thorny bushes. Fifty years ago 75,000 British, French and Anzac troops sailed in 200 ships for an attempt to capture the peninsula and the heavily fortified Dardanelles. Turkey had entered the war on Germany's side the preceding October. The Allies hoped to force the straits, permitting the British fleet to enter the Sea of Marmora to attack Constantinople now Istanbul. The move was intended to give Russia a respite and open shipping lanes from the Mediterranean to the Black Sea.

British Prime Minister Henry Asquith's War Council, including Churchill; Lord Kitchener, secretary of state for war; and Lord Fisher, first sea lord, argued at first on how the attack should be made. The opening move, put into operation largely on the urging of Churchill, was a naval attack March 18, 1915, on the Dardanelles forts. The Allied fleet lost six ships, including two battleships. The Turks, under the command of German Gen. Liman von Sanders, were delighted.

The fleet failed to press the attack and finally withdrew. After the war the Turkish general staff said the Allies might have won if they had returned to the fight March 19. The Turks were short of ammunition. A large-scale invasion by troops under the command of British Gen. Sir Ian Hamilton, a veteran of the Boer War, fol- lowed a month later.

British troops were to land at Cape Helles, the southern tip of the Peninsula. Anzac soldiers were to come ashore farther to the northwest and the French were to hit the Asian coast below the Dardanelles in a diversionary move. It was a fiasco. Most of Hamilton's troops were green. The Australians and New Zealanders were put ashore on impossible terrain nearly a mile from where they should have landed.

Hamilton, in the early stages remained on the battleship Queen Elizabeth, out of contact with both his troops ashore. staff and the Punishing Turkish ire poured into the British invaders as they waded ashore near the village (Seddulbahir) of Sedd-el-Bahr at Cape Helles. A British airman flying over the scene said the sea was "red with horrible sight to see." The Anzacs were also in a difficult spot, a maze of brush- filled gullies and steep cliffs. Still and all, they might have succeeded had it not been for ont brilliant Turkish officer -Lt- Col. Mustafa Kemal.

He would become a general, "The Savior of Gallipoli" and later Turkey's first president. The world knows him as Kemal Ataturk.

One Turkish private, Huseyin Akdogan, still is spry and alert at 73. The invasion caught his 21st Infantry Regiment at the town of Gelibolu (Gallipoli). But the next night the regiment was in the front lines at Cape Helles.

The Turkish commander screamed, "He who loves God, go forward," and the Turks charged with bayonets. "There was no shooting," the old veteran recalled. "Only the clatter of bayonet on bayonet." Akdogan was wounded in one shoulder and clubbed with a rifle butt. He said he was told later that he was among 25 survivors of -an original 4,000. The Allies suffered 20,000 casualties.

The entire Allied army settled into trench life, as did the Turks. Opposing trenches and barbed wire were only a few yards apart at some spots. Dysentery and other disease cut through both armies. One final attempt was made in August to push through the Turkish lines toward Constantinople. Again inept leadership, confusion and unyielding Turk- sh resistence halted the ad- The Allied troops hung on until London decided to end the allipoli campaign.

Then, as "Jet" magazine put the situation on December 5, 1957, 'A handful of Haliwa Indians went on the warpath last fall, and began whooping it up for a separate school. Their requests fell on deaf ears, for, indeed, said officials, there was neither anyting in the law nor in Warren County coffers which would make such a move feas- able." But that was just the magazine's version of the Haliwa story. The Haliwa Indians went, not on the warpath, but into their pocketbooks.

At a cost of more than $30,000, which the community could ill afford, the Indian descendants of Warren and Halifax counties erected a building. They also hired their own teachers, bought their own school buses and put their private school into operation. Several years later, when the burden could no longer be borne, they appealed to the state for assistance. The state took over, paid the Indians a token fee for the rent of their building, and furnished the Haliwa school with teachers, buses, and supplies. Evidence of their hard-won victory appeared in The Robe- sonian in the form of a story by William A.

Shires "Hali- wa Indians, Like Lumbees, Given Legal State Recognition." (4-21-64 issue.) Rev. C. D. Brewington, of Pembroke, who went to bat for the Haliwas during their earliest days of struggle, in his book, "The i Civilized Indian Tribes of North Carolina," stated his belief that the Haliwa Indians.of undoubted Indian origin, are a remnant of the famous old Saponi tribe.
