The Battle of Gallipoli David Cumo Ms. Beck Honors World Cultures Period 7 19 May 2017 The Battle of Gallipoli, also referred to as The Gallipoli Campaign of 1915-16 or the Dardanelles Campaign, was a decisive battle in World War One during which Allied Powers attempted to take control over the sea route between Europe and Russia.

Brevet Brigadier General The Americans fired back and advanced. The US left line was ordered back to secure the flank, and an 18-pound cannon dispersed the Mexican cavalry, which, in response, turned to the right, seemingly to threaten the flank or to attempt to take the supply train. The infantry sprang into action to make contact with the enemy cavalry, supported by the “Flying Artillery,” and was able to halt the immediate attack. During the cannon bombardment, a portion of the prairie caught fire and the smoke concealed the armies from each other. While waiting for the smoke to clear, the US 18-pound cannons had been moved forward to the road that the Mexican cavalry had once occupied. The Mexican Army also repositioned. After about an hour the smoke cleared, and the artillery commenced again. From its new position, the Americans created openings in the Mexican line of infantry. A squadron of dragoons were ordered to the left of the Mexican Army’s line but suffered from artillery fire as they moved forward. The US 4th Infantry was exposed to a significant barrage of cannon fire as they supported the two 18-pound cannons, and several men were killed or wounded.

The well-directed volley from the front of the line silenced all further firing from the cavalry. Frustrated, the Mexican Army began an attempt to flank the left of the US line. Bold and brilliant maneuvering of a battery quickly repulsed the enemy, who then retreated back to their original position. As a squadron of dragoons moved to assist the left flank, they gradually drove the Mexican Army back, and the enemy had a significant loss from the field. As night began to fall, the firing ceased and the Mexican Army fell back behind their positions and the
