Gallipoli Day

[Lt. S.Kafloc]

Here's to all who fell and the few who returned. I had the honour of meeting one in 1995. He was 16 when he landed at Gallipoli with his father. They were both in the Manchester.

A brilliant story - so glad the sixth VC has been located and was not lost.
Well done the Lancashire Fusiliers

Sorry to steal your thunder Sir !

Thank you for your sacrifice Gentlemen

When I read about Capt Willis and his rallying cry "Come on Boys, Remember Minden" while holding his cane aloft, it fair broke me up.

[Lt. S.Kafloc]

At Minden the 20th of Foot (later Lancashire Fusiliers) stood steady and received the French Cavalry charge. Their withering fire broke the French and practically won the battle.

Minden is one of the four Regimental days we honour. St Georges Day, Minden Day, Albuhera Day and Normandy Day.

That looks just superb Allan.
I recently visited the Australian War Museum in Canberra & watched an 11 minute film by Sir Peter recreating a WW1 dogfight. Very Awesome!

I had the honor to serve with both Aussies and Kiwis in Africa. There is at least one Yank that will continue to honor and remember the lost.
