Officers of 1st/7th The Royal Scots

On their arrival in Gallipoli on August 10th they found there was not much left of their Battalion following the battle of Gully Ravine on June 28th 1915. Many of the wounded left on the battlefield died of dehydration. During the ill-fated Gallipoli

campaign an estimated 250,000 troops were killed, wounded, taken prisoner or hospitalised before

their withdrawal in January 1916.
