That day Mecidiye Fort located on the Eurpean side of the strait was highly damaged. The commander of the Fortified positions Cevat was going back and forth between fire lines since the morning. As Cevat Pasha has learned that Mecidiye fort had seriously damaged he departed to the European side again. While he was walking among the ruins, he saw a soldier lying under a tree. He went and asked: "What is it, son?" Then the soldier stood up hurriedly and saluted him. However, his eyes were looking somewhere else. Cevat Pasha asked again "Is anything happened to your eyes, my son?" The soldier answered "Do not worry, sir. I have already seen everything" (He meant HMS Ocean the destroyer which was sunk by Turkish fire). Cevat Pasha stopped talking and began to cry silently.
