This page is about the general headquarters that commanded United Kingdom and British Empire forces at Gallipoli from April 1915 to January 1916 (see also Dardanelles Army, UK), and Salonika from November 1915 to March 1916 (see also British Salonika Army). For Egypt, see British Force in Egypt (was this under GHQ MEF from November 1915 to March 1916?) and Egyptian Expeditionary Force, UK. For Italy, see British Force in Italy. For the French forces at Gallipoli, see Corps Expeditionnaire d'Orient, French.
