The British War Council approved plans to open a new front by landing Allied troops on the Gallipoli Peninsula.
The blame for what would ultimately prove to be an Allied disaster is often placed at Churchill's feet, but in fact the concept was first suggested by an aging Royal Navy commander who was suffering from the onset of Alzheimer's.
There's a lesson in there.
The French submarine Saphir was sunk with the loss of 27 of her crew.
The submarines Saphir and Curie, fallen gloriously in battle, are brought to the agenda of the Naval Army. In his affliction of having seen succumb such valiant servants of the country, the commander-in-chief reminds everyone how proud the army should be to have in its ranks officers and crews capable of heroic actions such as those that were accomplished by these valourous ships whose names will remain in maritime legends. Honour and glory to the officers and crews of the Saphir and Curie, they have truly earned it from the Fatherland.

Labor activist Ralph Chaplin completed the trade union anthem "Solidarity Forever".
When the union's inspiration through the workers' blood shall run,There can be no power greater anywhere beneath the sun;Yet what force on earth is weaker than the feeble strength of one,But the union makes us strong.Chorus:Solidarity forever!Solidarity forever!Solidarity forever!For the union makes us strong.Is there aught we hold in common with the greedy parasite,Who would lash us into serfdom and would crush us with his might?Is there anything left to us but to organize and fight?For the union makes us strong.ChorusIt is we who plowed the prairies; built the cities where they trade;Dug the mines and built the workshops, endless miles of railroad laid;Now we stand outcast and starving ’midst the wonders we have made;But the union makes us strong.ChorusAll the world that's owned by idle drones is ours and ours alone.We have laid the wide foundations; built it skyward stone by stone.It is ours, not to slave in, but to master and to own.While the union makes us strong.ChorusThey have taken untold millions that they never toiled to earn,But without our brain and muscle not a single wheel can turn.We can break their haughty power, gain our freedom when we learnThat the union makes us strong.ChorusIn our hands is placed a power greater than their hoarded gold,Greater than the might of armies, multiplied a thousand-fold.We can bring to birth a new world from the ashes of the oldFor the union makes us strong.
