Admin kenf48 Posted 24 April , 2019 Admin Share Posted 24 April , 2019 The war diary lists casualties for each month at the end of the month. I’ll let you total them. Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaureenE Posted 25 April , 2019 Share Posted 25 April , 2019 Perhaps there may be some information in the online book Regimental Records of the Royal Welch Fusiliers (23rd Foot). Volume IV 1915-1918 Turkey-Bulgaria-Austria by Major C H Dudley Ward 1929 Archive.org. Cheers Maureen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robertb Posted 25 April , 2019 Share Posted 25 April , 2019 Total casualties I do not know, but there are 124 deaths recorded by the CWGC, that either have a memorial or burial place on the peninsula. 86 are recorded on the Helles Memorial.

Admin kenf48 Posted 25 April , 2019 Admin Share Posted 25 April , 2019 (edited) Pete, I misled you slightly in that not every month lists casualties and the whole of December pages are missing, so to save a trip to Wrexham Landed at ANZAC 4th August 1915 August casualties recorded in text (sometimes simply as 'whole platoon and officers') September recorded in text, this month the casualties are mentioned by name in some instances. October Officer killed 1 Other ranks killed 4 Wounded 29 OR Sick 1 officer and 51 OR November 6 OR killed 13 OR wounded 6 Officers sick and 130 OR December the whole month is missing January 1 officer killed and 5 sick 14 ORs killed 28 ORs wounded 1 OR missing 46 ORs sick Ken Edited 25 April , 2019 by kenf48 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peter blackwell Posted 28 April , 2019 Author Share Posted 28 April , 2019 (edited) Did the royal marines and flying corps take part in the gallipoli campaign? Edited 28 April , 2019 by peter blackwell spelling error Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seaJane Posted 28 April , 2019 Share Posted 28 April , 2019 The RND (Royal Naval Division) comprised Royal Marine Light Infantry (RMLI), RM Artillery (RMA) and naval and marine reservists surplus to sea requirements, so yes. Royal Flying Corps (RFC) no, but the Royal Naval Air Service (RNAS) yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

horatio2 Posted 29 April , 2019 Share Posted 29 April , 2019 7 hours ago, seaJane said: The RND (Royal Naval Division) comprised Royal Marine Light Infantry (RMLI), RM Artillery (RMA) and naval and marine reservists surplus to sea requirements The RND had no RMA component by the time of Gallipoli, the RMA Battalion having been withdrawn from the RM Brigade on return from Ostend in early September 1914. The RM Brigade of the RND was, thereafter, RMLI only. Both RMA and RMLI did, of course, serve in HM ships engaged in the Gallipoli campaign Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
