Winston Churchill, Mark Sykes and the Dardanelles Campaign of 1915
View through CrossRef
Abstract
In the Brynmor Jones Library, University of Hull, the draft and two carbon copies of a letter from Mark Sykes to Winston Churchill dated 27 January 1915 are catalogued as DDSY(2)/4/81. The top‐copy of this letter no longer seems to exist; it does not appear in Martin Gilbert's companion volume for Churchill 1914–16 and is not used in his biographical account of those years. It also was not used by Roger Adelson when he wrote his biography of Mark Sykes in 1975. The letter is important in two ways. First, it indicates that Mark Sykes may have had some influence on Churchill's thinking in late January and early February 1915 while he was planning the naval assault on the Dardanelles. Second, this letter from Mark Sykes contains echoes of the concept of a soft ‘underbelly’ of Europe later popularized by Churchill in a speech of 1942.
