Gallipoli - Anzac Day 2025
110th anniversary of the Gallipoli landings has certainly been one to remember. Members have sent in their photographs from all over the world. Here follows a selection from the services of commemoration in the UK: London, Eltham, Brokenhurst, Edinburgh, Glasgow and the National Memorial Aboretum; France: Paris, Turkey: Canakkale and Greece: Lemnos, Australia and New Zealand.
As always, a truly international friendly group of members striving to keep alive the memory of all those that served in those dark days of 1915.
