The darkness before dawn, the western side of the second line of defense at Saros Bay Borayer, the sea wind was howling, the cold was biting.
Although it was already April, the temperature in Gelibolu was still around 7 degrees.
Especially since it started to drizzle, making the soldiers of the 69th Infantry Regiment of the 17th Division of the Ottoman Empire, who were stationed here, shiver with cold.
"Damn it!" Captain Kadir of the 3rd Infantry Battalion, huddled in a makeshift fortification, couldn't help but complain, "Can't they send us some raincoats or clothes?"
Deputy Battalion Commander Isa replied, "Captain, all our vehicles and draft animals are transporting ammunition, no one can take care of us!"
Kadir made a sound of acknowledgment.
He knew this. The sound of gunfire and artillery from the front line was intense, ensuring the supply of ammunition was the foremost priority, everything else had to take a backseat.
