The Athens correspondent of the Daily Chronicle says that the landing at Suvia was the most brilliant piece of work yet carried out during the war, and that the battle following the highly successful disembarkation was the most stubborn and sanguinary yet fought at the Dar darellos.
Compared with Gaba Tepel," says the correspondent, the brilliance of the Suvla affair lies in another direction. Though its immediate consequence was a fierce and long struggle, which brought out all that is best in the fighting qualities of the British troops, the point about the Intest achievement is that it was a complete and staggering surprise.

Unlike the Gaba Tepeh landing, the war ships were silent for 24 hours and the operations were carried out without & single ahot being fired. The northern section, in great force, moved off to the north-cast, and the southern section moved off to the south-east, towards the The only Turks left of the Anzac line.
