New York Times 100 years ago today, December 2, 1912:
Two Divisions Ready There to Meet Allies' Landing Forces.
LONDON, Monday, Dec. 2.— A wireless dispatch to The Morning Post from the Dardanelles, dated Friday and sent by way of Constanza reports that the concentration of Turkish troops has been carried out with secrecy, and that there are now two divisions of the Asian forces on the Gallipoli Peninsula with a large force of artillery.
The dispatch says the lines of Bulaci, a short distance north of the town of Gallipoli and the heights commanding the western coast line, are strongly held, and that the troops there should be able to prevent any attempt of the allies to land.
