Editor's Note
After the Great Offensive, Turkish forces entered İzmir on 9 September 1922 and began a pursuit operation to clear the peninsula of Greek troops. The Greek army under General Frangou withdrew in good order as far as Urla, establishing a centre of resistance with two batteries on Yağcılar Mountain. This was intended to protect the retreating soldiers until they could board ships at the port of Çeşme.
