seaJane Posted 26 August , 2020 Share Posted 26 August , 2020 August 26th. "Neuralia" away, "Nerassa" filling. We do nothing until 10 pm, then take on 40 medical cases, all diarrhoea, a poor, wretched lot. Poor Lambert got special message from shore to say his brother, who was moved up here with 29th Division, was killed by shell today in camp. We saw that Turks were putting in shells very frequently. Hear that "Valdivia" is out here. Anzac sounds busy. This stand easy very welcome, but it gives one time to get homesick. German aeroplane over early. All usual stunts going on, except that there is no rifle fire. Lambert was ashore. - from the diary of Surgeon Reginald Eccles-Smith, RN, Hospital Ship REWA. RIP Private Stanford Leigh Lambert RAMC, age 25, buried at Hill 10 Cemetery above Suvla Bay; brother of Surgeon John Lambert, RN, also REWA.

Guest Posted 25 April , 2021 Share Posted 25 April , 2021 I recently came across a memorial marker for Pvt. Lambert, and created an entry for him on FindAGrave: https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/226032329/stanford-leigh-lambert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEW Posted 25 April , 2021 Share Posted 25 April , 2021 Hill 10 details for findagrave details. https://www.cwgc.org/visit-us/find-cemeteries-memorials/cemetery-details/2000111/HILL 10 CEMETERY/ Which also means St. Andrews should be a memorial rather than his burial location.
