Description: | image: an annotated sketch showing an intense Royal Navy bombardment on Turkish positions near Achi Baba on the Gallipoli peninsula. In the right foreground the upper deck of HMS Manica is visible, her kite balloon floating high in the sky above. To the left HMS Talbot is shown port side on, firing broadsides from her starboard side towards the coastline in the background. Four destroyers sail between HMS Manica and HMS Talbot. The coastline is dotted with numerous clouds of smoke where Royal Navy shells have hit, and there are splashes in the water from the retaliation of Turkish batteries.
