Ian Hamilton

About the Author

Sir Ian Hamilton (1853-1947) was the British general in command of the Mediterranean Expeditionary Force during the Battle of Gallipoli, which took place in Turkey from April 1915 to January 1916. It resulted in the evacuation of allied troops in the face of stiff Turkish resistance; the defeat ended Hamilton’s military career.
