Bartlett’s reports were well received back in Australia, particularly as they were written by a British observer.

This bird’s eye view shows major topographical features with heights and distances; positions of landings, front lines, forts, batteries and townships.

Of the Anzacs, Bartlett wrote: ‘They waited neither for orders nor for the boats to reach the beach, but, springing out into the sea, they waded ashore, and, forming some sort of rough line, rushed straight on the flashes of the enemy’s rifles.’

The Graphic map details the various Allied landings, including those of the Australian and New Zealand troops, along with locations where French and British troops landed throughout the campaign.

Ashmead-Bartlett served as the Conservative Member of Parliament for North Hammersmith in London between 1924 and 1926.

The ANZAC map of Gallipoli illustrates the maze of trenches which had been dug into the hillsides at Gallipoli and shows how close the opposing trenches were at certain points. Captain Aubrey Wiltshire observed in his diary at Gallipoli; ‘Turkish trenches running parallel to our line right along. Absolutely no one in sight and yet beneath the parapet they are in their thousands. Our trenches are a network of deep trenches as confused as the catacombs of Rome surely. The support trenches have recesses cut in them for sleeping purposes where men rest. The fire trench is full of observers and others specially armed and always on the alert.’

Ashmead-Bartlett continued to write about the Gallipoli campaign, publishing The Uncensored Dardanelles in 1928.

Ellis Ashmead-Bartlett was a seasoned war correspondent who had covered a number of skirmishes for the British press.

Allied troops remained on the Gallipoli Peninsular until 19-20 December 1915. This campaign cost Australia 26,111 casualties, including 8,141 deaths. 

Bartlett sailed to Gallipoli with the Australian troops who formed the covering party for the landing on 25 April. He went ashore 24 hours later. Unlike official war correspondent, Charles Bean, who lived with the troops on the peninsular, Bartlett was based at the official press camp on the island of Imbros.
