The Second Battle of Krithia was a costly failure for the Allies in World War 1. About one-third of the Allied soldiers who fought in the battle became casualties.
This was a huge loss for General Hamilton, who could ill-afford such losses as they made it difficult enough to hold the little ground he had, let alone continue to capture more.
The poor planning of the battle extended to the medical provisions for the wounded. There were not enough stretcher bearers, and those who were available often had to carry their burdens all the way to the beach as there was no intermediate collecting station with wagon transport.
The hospital ship arrangements were also inadequate so that once the wounded were taken off the beach, they would have trouble finding a ship prepared to take them on board.
With the failure of the second battle, Hamilton made a request to the British Secretary of State for War, Lord Kitchener, for an additional four divisions.
He was promised the British 52nd (Lowland) Division but would not receive any more until August. Another attempt to capture Krithia would not be made until early June.
