Falloden Posted 26 April , 2020 Share Posted 26 April , 2020 Dismounted troops of the Ist Scottish Horse, under the direction of Major the Hon Rupert E S Barrington, were evacuated in secrecy from Suvla in December 1915 on two ships, one being HMT "East Point" which was under the command of my grandfather Captain H.J.Young DSC. I have a detailed letter from my grandfather to his sisters-in-law describing the incident. I am keen to locate the account of the Scottish Horse evacuation which may appear in a journal or letters to his wife written by Major Barrington. If anyone can provide such information I would be most grateful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
