Event Notes Note (1) Probably named for the location of a famous battle in World War I. "The Naval Operations in the Dardanelles Campaign (17 February 1915 - 9 January 1916) took place against the Ottoman Empire during the First World War. Ships of the Royal Navy, French Marine nationale, Imperial Russian Navy and the Royal Australian Navy, attempted to force the defences of the Dardanelles Straits. The straits are a narrow waterway connecting the Mediterranean Sea with the Black Sea, via the Aegean, Sea of Marmara and the Bosphorus." [Wikipedia] It was not uncommon in the years during and immediately following World War I for parents to name their children, especially girls, for battle locations of the war.
