Hi, I am currently engaged in researching my Grandfather's service history. He served in Gallipoli initially as " Able Seaman R Chalkley 'D' Company Hawke Battalion RND Z/965/L. Amongst his possessions is an account of an attack on Mercer road sap on 19/6/15. The following names are mentioned specifically:- 'A' and 'D' Company Petty Officer Shea (wounded) Able Seaman Newberry Officers Mr Morgan Mr Little Mr Tremayne Mr Horsefield I highlight these names in the hope that somebody may recognise them and that the account may be of interest. In addition I have a number of photographs and copy No 19 of the 8th Army Corps Artillery Orders dated 6th January 1916 on withdrawal. I hope that some of this may be of interest to Association members and possibly beyond. Simon C |

Hi Simon,
I believe that your Grandfather may have been mentioned in Despatches. See my email to you. Regards Mal
