Gallipoli commemoration

Today I have been to the Cenotaph in London to take part in the commemoration of the First World War campaign at Gallipoli. My Grandfather fought at Gallipoli so I wanted to honour his memory by attending today. He was a farm lad who went to Gallipoli aged 21with the Cheshire regiment. Fortunately he returned home, bringing with him a brass candlestick as a momento! It must have been life changing event for such a young working class lad from the country.
