Thank you my friend MAJ Dale E. Wilson, Ph.D. for posting Steele's Post: The Hottest Position at ANZAC
By the way my paternal grandfather served as a British Army lance corporal at Gallipoli
Image: 1915 my paternal Grandfather - British Army Lance Corporal William John Field [1884-1963] Ford during the Gallipoli campaign in Turkey in 1915 died on December 7, 1963

Rest in peace for each Entente soldier, sailor who served during the Gallipoli campaign - British, Australian and New Zealand including "Sergeant William Henry Cooling of the 26th Battalion, has left a vivid description of what life was like on the front line at ANZAC in a letter home. From Enoggera, Queensland, Australia, Sgt. Cooling died of wounds on 22 October 1915 at 20 years of age. His grave is located in the Embarkation Pier Cemetery at Gallipoli,'
