Sir Charles Carmichael Monro (1860-1929) was responsible for overseeing the evacuation of the Gallipoli peninsula in October 1915, placed into effect in December 1915/January 1916.
With the outbreak of war in Europe in August 1914 Monro was despatched to France in command of the British 2nd Division in Douglas Haig's I Corps.
Monro's management of the evacuation during December 1915/January 1916 was brilliantly conducted and casualties were remarkably low: a great deal fewer than Hamilton's original estimate of 50% (a figure which led to his recall to London).
