It is no longer possible to force the Dardanelles . . . Nobody would expose a modern fleet to such perils.
Winston Churchill, 1911
It looked as if no human power could withstand such an array of might and power [but yet the Turks did].
A Forgotten British Officer
Early morning: Almighty God, Watchman of the Milky Way, Shepherd of the Golden Stars, have mercy upon us. . . Thy will be done. En avant [forward]—at all costs—en avant.

Men, I am not ordering you to attack. I am ordering you to die. In the time that it takes us to die, other forces and commanders can come and take our place.
Mustafa Kemal, Commander 19th Division, Later the Same Day
The Turkish positions only get stronger every day… They are magnificently well-led, well-armed and very brave and numerous.
Reverend O. Creighton, Chaplain, 29th Division
Our life here is truly hellish. Fortunately, my soldiers are very brave and tougher than the enemy.
Mustafa Kemal, 20 July 1915
As long as wars last, the evacuation of Suvla and Anzac will stand before the eyes of all strategists as a hitherto unattained masterpiece.
Military correspondent, Vossiche Zeitung, January 1916
O! The rough cliffs witnessed that day
O! The heroic trenches of Sergeant Mehmet
O! The sacred site of Mustafa Kemal
O! The Bloody hills, burnt places.
Mehmet Emin Yurdakul, "The Epic of the Army"

the forgotten solider was actually my uncle way back when he used to touch me but i do remember his final words on the battlefront "Something takes a part of me
ReplyDeleteSomething lost and never seen
Every time I start to believe
Something's raped and taken from me, from me
Life's gotta always be messing with me (you wanna see the light)
Can't they chill and let me be free? (So do I)
Can't I take away all this pain? (You wanna see the light)
I try to every night, all in vain, in vain
Sometimes I cannot take this place
Sometimes it's my life I can't taste
Sometimes I cannot feel my face
You'll never see me fall from grace
Something takes a part of me
You and I were meant to be
A cheap fuck for me to lay
Something takes a part of me
Feeling like a freak on a leash (you wanna see the light)
Feeling like I have no release (so do I)
How many times have I felt diseased? (You wanna see the light)
Nothing in my life is free, is free
Sometimes I cannot take this place
Sometimes it's my life I can't taste
Sometimes I cannot feel my face
You'll never see me fall from grace
Something takes a part of me
You and I were meant to be
A cheap fuck for me to lay
Something takes a part of me

Oh"
Reverend O. Creighton last words were 'There's nothing colder than your shoulder
ReplyDeleteWhen you're dragging me along
Like you do, like you do
And then you switch up with no warning
And you kiss me like you want it
How rude, how rude
But I kinda like it anyways
I don't mind if this is gonna take a million days
I know you'll come around to me eventually
If you sit back, relax, enjoy my company
My company
Once you know what my love's gonna feel like
Nothing else will feel right
You can feel like
Moonbeam ice cream
Taking off your blue jeans
Dancing at the movies
'Cause it feels so mystical, magical, oh, baby
'Cause once you know, once you know
My love is so mystical, magical, oh, baby
'Cause once you know, once you know
My little hard-to-get baby
I want to give you the world (ooh)
Not saying you gotta chase me
But I wouldn't mind it
If you gave me just a little bit of
Something we can work it with
But all you do is push me out
But I like it anyways
'Cause I think I'm getting closer to you every day
I know you'll come around to me eventually
Just sit back, relax, enjoy my company
Oh, baby, trust me
Once you know what my love's gonna feel like
Nothing else will feel right
You can feel like
Moonbeam ice cream
Taking off your blue jeans
Dancing at the movies
'Cause it feels so mystical, magical, oh, baby
'Cause once you know, once you know
My love is so mystical, magical, oh, baby
'Cause once you know, once you know (ooh)
Once you know what my love's gonna feel like (ooh, ooh)
Moonbeam ice cream, nothing else will feel right (ooh)
Mystical, magical, oh, baby
It's mystical, magical
Expedition Commander Sir Ian Hamilton, sad final words while trapped in barbed wire, i can faintly remember here him scream the words perfectly in the exact tone and pitch of katy pery."Do you ever feel like a plastic bag
ReplyDeleteDrifting through the wind, wanting to start again?
Do you ever feel, feel so paper thin
Like a house of cards, one blow from cavin' in?
Do you ever feel already buried deep?
Six feet under screams, but no one seems to hear a thing
Do you know that there's still a chance for you?
'Cause there's a spark in you
You just gotta ignite the light
And let it shine
Just own the night
Like the Fourth of July
'Cause baby, you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go, "Oh, oh, oh"
As you shoot across the sky
Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make 'em go, "Oh, oh, oh"
You're gonna leave 'em all in awe, awe, awe
You don't have to feel like a waste of space
You're original, cannot be replaced
If you only knew what the future holds
After a hurricane comes a rainbow
Maybe a reason why all the doors are closed
So you could open one that leads you to the perfect road
Like a lightning bolt, your heart will glow
And when it's time, you'll know
You just gotta ignite the light
And let it shine
Just own the night
Like the Fourth of July
'Cause baby, you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go, "Oh, oh, oh"
As you shoot across the sky
Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make 'em go, "Oh, oh, oh"
You're gonna leave 'em all in awe, awe, awe
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
It's always been inside of you, you, you
And now it's time to let it through
'Cause baby, you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go, "Oh, oh, oh"
As you shoot across the sky
Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make 'em go, "Oh, oh, oh"
You're gonna leave 'em all in awe, awe, awe
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon"
