Walking Gallipoli: W Beach

In this episode we move to Gallipoli, a battlefield in Turkey where British and Commonwealth soldiers landed on 25th April 1915. Here we visit Lancashire Landing Cemetery, walk down to W Beach and look at the story of the ‘six VCs before breakfast’. Our object this week is a WW1 photo album with private images taken at Gallipoli in 1915.

Thanks Paul. I visited Gallipoli last year with the Gallipoli Association, and your podcast brought back some interesting memories. By the way, I had the pleasure of joining you on a Legers Western Front some years ago.

Another terrific podcast. I love the website format, which enables me to view the photos as I’m listening. I’ll give the Facebook page a look as well.

Another great talk……you should do one on the Manchester Brigade at Krithia perhaps?

This podcast in particular has special significance for me as my great grandfather died on the first day of landings on W Beach on 25th April, he was a member of the Essex Regiment and part of the 29th Division. This podcast gives you real perspective of the landings.
