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.
General Headquarters Mediterranean Expeditionary Force was on the island of Imbros from 31 May to 23 November 1915.[1] On 23 November 1915, the headquarters at Imbros became Army Headquarters Dardanelles Army, UK, while Mediterranean Expeditionary Force formed a new general headquarters at Mudros on the island of Lemnos.[2]
