"You are asking why we are withdrawing; I would like to tell you the truth explicitly: We are against the Royal Turkish Army combatting bravely and being commanded perfectly and Colonel Mustafa Kemal, the genius commander. Never forget that. I decidedly say that Çanakkale is impassable!" General Hamilton, the Senior Officer in the British Army
