Saturday, February 5, 1916. The beginning of the Trebizond Campaign.

The Russians launched a land and naval campaign to take Trabzon, Turkey.  The city is located on Turkey's northern coast on the Black Sea.

It's often forgotten how intense the fighting was between the Russian Empire and the Ottoman Empire during World War One.

Trabzon was the home of exile of many Armenians.  It was founded in 756 BC by Greek colonists.

It was a Saturday.
