- Abstract
The 5th army troops established to counter the Allied States who wanted to conquer Ġstanbul by forcing the straits from the land and the sea were transferred to the region as a requirement of the Gallipoli Wars during the First World War. Bed numbers of the hospitals in the region were increased. The first intervention to the soldiers was made at the military positions and those whose situations were good were sent to the front and those whose conditions were serious were sent to the battalion areas where wounds were taken care of. Although the specified period of time to move a soldier injured at the front to the local hospital or Istanbul was forty-eight hours, this duration was sometimes prolonged when the battle was intense. Other than those martyred and injured at the front, a large number of soldiers were martyred because of disease and inadequate equipment and operating conditions during the Gallipoli wars.
