By May 5 the phase of the landing was completed. A firm hold had been gained upon the end of the Peninsula and at Anzac. The world’s history had been enriched by hardly credible examples of courage, _élan_, and the fortitude of endurance which Napoleon accounted a more valuable quality in soldiers than courage and _élan_. But the objects specified in the scheme of attack had not been gained. The Turks were still at Krithia. They still held the lines drawn across the slopes of Achi Baba. Koja Dere and Boghali were still far from the eager youths clinging like flies to the Anzac cliffs. Maidos was farther beyond, nor was the fleet a cable’s length nearer to the Narrows than before. It was evident to all that the campaign, deprived of the incalculable advantage of surprise by the hesitation, delay, and disapproval or indifference at home, would now be long and costly in life. Already in ten days the losses were officially reckoned: Killed. Wounded. Missing. Officers 177 412 13 Men 1990 7807 3580 These figures give a total casualty list of 13,979. The loss may be realised by another table. On April 30 the Fusilier Brigade (86th) of the 29th Division, out of a normal strength of 104 officers and about 4000 men, mustered as follows: Officers. Men. 2nd Royal Fusiliers 12 481 1st Lancashire Fusiliers 11 399 1st Royal Munster Fusiliers 12 596 1st Royal Dublin Fusiliers 1 374 -- ---- 36 1850[103] [Sidenote: THE WOUNDED UNDERESTIMATED]
