Dogan Sahin Posted 27 February , 2011 Share Posted 27 February , 2011 Hi, This thread has been going on for a few years now. A staggering list indeed and a saddening one. Similar stories we heard in our history in songs and poems and books in Turkey. This I think is what makes up a Nation. I believe this is what Ataturk meant when he made his famous speech about "the heroes who died and are now in the bosom of our country. Side by side with our sons Mehmetcik". I am writing an article to Turkish AA on " Brothers/Father son who died in gallipoli"( ANZAC and other British contingents separately if possible ) I have to make sure I have correct statistics. I need the exact number of them to make the article "effective". And I need a few print size photos, taken in " gallipoli" if possible. In memory of those brothers and fathers, sons who died in Gallipoli, please accept the translation of a folk poem ( anonymus) on loss of a child. I appreciate your attention and help.( and I need the above named in a few days ). Hem okudum hem de yazdım,<B style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal"><BR clear=all>Yalan dünya senden bezdim,<BR clear=all>Dağlar koyağını gezdim,<BR clear=all>Yiten yavru bulunur mu? </B> I have both read and wrote, What a fake you are life! I am weary of you I have travelled the revines in mountains Could a youngster lost be found? I wonder? Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRose Posted 27 August , 2011 Share Posted 27 August , 2011 I don't know if this list is still being added to, but here are another pair of brothers: Name: John Rankin Birth Place: Salford, Lancs Residence: Liverpool Death Date: 9 Aug 1915 Death Location: Gallipoli Enlistment Location: Warrington,Lancs Rank: Private Regiment: Loyal North Lancashire Regiment Battalion: 6th Battalion Number: 11588 Type of Casualty: Killed in action Theatre of War: Balkan Theatre Name: Charles Rankin Birth Place: Wigan, Lancs Death Date: 17 Apr 1916 Death Location: France & Flanders Enlistment Location: Wigan Rank: Private Regiment: border Regiment Battalion: 2nd Battalion Number: 21627 Type of Casualty: Killed in action Theatre of War: Western European Theatre Qualification of these brothers for the list: There were four brothers in this family that served during the Great War. They were William, John, George and Charles. George was killed during the Anglo-Irish war in 1921 during a Sinn Fein ambush, and a local English newspaper article reporting on his death stated that his brother John waskilled at Gallipoli, and Charles in France. John aged 11, George aged 7 and Charles aged 4 can be foundon the 1901 census living at 8 Morris Yard, Silver Street, Warrington. Their mother Sarah Jane is also resident, but their father, William, was dead by this time. Source Citation: Class: RG13; Piece: 3582; Folio: 53; Page: 22. The family can also be found on the 1891 census living at 7 Cellar, Ashton Street, Pendleton, Salford. Source Citation: RGnumber:RG12 Piece:3207 Folio:157 Page:16. Sarah Jane died shortly after the 1901 census date. John and George can be found on the 1911 census living at 16 Howard Street, Warrington. There are service records available for Charles, which are fairly long. These indicate that he had a foster mother, which fits with the death of his parents, and also lists his surviving siblings and deceased parents. These fit with the census returns. His brother George is listed as being in the The Loyal North Lancashire Regiment and being based in Malta. George's battalion was stationed in Malta before eventually being posted to Ireland. This is mentioned in the newspaper articles covering George's death during the Sinn Fein ambush. I hope I've explained this clearly enough, but let me know if any further information is required.

Pink (born 1871) was discharged on 17 November 1914 - not likely to become an efficient soldier. He was in the South Lancs in Egypt, India & Abyssinia and was time-served in 1910.
