Today marks the anniversary of the Gallipoli landings. While much debate focuses on military strategy, Alison Wishart’s article in First World War Studies examines a frequently overlooked factor in the campaign: the role of food and water.

A light grey banner across the top reads "The silent killer of the Anzac campaign at Gallipoli". In the upper centre, a rounded grey text box reads "The importance of food and water to the Anzac campaign at Gallipoli". In the bottom left corner, a black rectangular box with white text reads "By Alison Wishart".

While "shell shock" from the trenches is widely studied, the psychological toll of First World War captivity has largely been overlooked. A new 🔓 Open Access article by ECR Sarah Bremer shines a light on British POWs in German camps.

A banner across the top reads "NEW OPEN ACCESS RESEARCH 🔓". A rounded text box in the upper right reads "Fit for Work, Unfit for Care". Another rounded text box in the lower left reads "A new article by Sarah Bremer".

On this day: 11 March 1917. British forces capture Baghdad. Kaushik Roy analyses this victory as a logistical masterpiece. He highlights how the British moved from the "calamity" of Kut to a triumph enabled by a total organizational restructuring of how troops were supplied in Mesopotamia.

Anniversary: 1 March 1918. German forces capture Kyiv. Wolfram Dornik & Peter Lieb interpret this occupation as a "political and economical fiasco". They analyze how strategic overstretch in the Ukrainian "failing state" accelerated the collapse of the Central Powers.
