  • Galipolli was ...

    Galipolli was Churchill's baby.....he pushed it relentlessly to the consternation of the military chiefs. He got his way.
    Just moving ships into the Dardanelles proved costly. That should have been a clue to the difficulty looming ahead.

  • Gallipoli wasn't ...

    Gallipoli wasn't Churchill's fault he planned the landing but he wasn't on hand when they arrived and realised that Istanbul was undefended, the guys in the field decided to wait and not attack, which is why it failed.

  • When it comes to ...

    When it comes to North Africa, seems to me Churchill was a bit ... shall we say ... stupid? Make a decision which puts the theatre in jeopardy, and then get all pissy when progress can't be made thereafter.
