Wasn’t Gallipoli disaster a result of admirals not providing support Churchill requested? And the plan that was implemented wasn’t something Churchill actually advocated for?

Pretty much, and the Navy wanted to run things differently to the army. Then they ran into far more resistance than expected.

Churchill gets the blame from history. Such is the way of things.

Didn't Napoleon say something about how a general fought the war by fighting his subordinates?
