Military personnel attend a ceremony to commemorate soldiers who died during the World War I campaign on the Gallipoli peninsula, in Canakkale, Turkey, Saturday, April 24, 2021, on the 106th anniversary of the Gallipoli Campaign. The Gallipoli Campaign of 1915 by Allied forces aimed to take control of the peninsula to weaken the Ottoman Empire. The campaign failed and Allied forces withdrew after eight months of fighting on the ground and some 250,000 casualties on both sides. The memorials were kept small due to the COVID-19 pandemic.Emrah Gurel/AP
