His paper was a joint project undertaken with Dr Jean de Préneuf (University of Lille) and Dr Thomas Vaisset (University du Havre) The paper considers the factors needed for a success to have been made of joint Franco-British naval operations during the Dardanelles campaign of 1915 and 1916. It does so by examining the importance of: joint decision making at all levels of the coalition; effective communications within the coalition at both the strategic and operational level; and a mutual respect for the contribution and capability of all members of the coalition.
