Charles, I do not know the precise circumstances of your death, but, as a former soldier myself, doing my National Service in 1950 with the 1st Battalion of the Lincolns in the Suez Canal Zone, I can still salute you as the brave soldier you undoubtedly were, who died in the service of his country in Gallipoli. You were commemorated on the Helles Memorial to the Missing, having no known grave. We read that the Turkish artillery defence was ferocious, yet you bravely attacked in the face of it, suffering the consequences. You are all also remembered every year at the Royal British Legion Festival of Remembrance, when the parade is at the attention while the Queen’s Colour and the National Standard are dipped in salute as the Last Post is sounded. I offer my sympathy to your relatives who mourned your sacrifice.  You are in Our Lord God’s hands now.   Rest in Peace. Harry.

Henry Harrison
