Getting In The Trench At The Çanakkale Martyrdom Hospital Museum, Part One

Besides being a nice museum dedicated to medical treatment during the Gallipoli campaign of WWI, the Çanakkale Martyrdom Hospital Museum also has a realistic example of a military trench one can explore. Time to climb in.

Preamble. Red Crescent tents situated behind the trench front.

Officers with their map, playing God. Before heading in, grab a rifle from the munitions store. "No credit!"

The fork in the trench.

Trench strategy in action, a wooden periscope box, good for getting a peek without getting one's head shot.

View of the enemy trench. So close, no way to move forward.
