Don't think I included Pte. Frederick William Jeanes, 6th Lincolns, who landed at Gallipoli on 15th October 1915 and died of wounds in France on 8th September 1916. He's buried in Contay Cemetery.

There's a photograph of him here: https://www.facebook...91620547523357.

A little more information re. Arthur Leslie Rhodes.

From an anonymous officer from HMS Stephen Furness:

“He was my right-hand man. I never want a better man to with than your son; always loyal, true and very cheerful. I never saw him otherwise under any circumstances. He was one of the most popular chaps on the ship, and everyone had a good word for him. I did not myself see him from the time the ship was struck to the time she went down. The carpenter, who is also one of the few lucky survivors, could not say too much for your son, for he fulfilled his difficult job as a ship’s steward in a very satisfactory way to all concerned in the ship.”

From his former employer, Boots Ltd:

“Leslie was a good Christian lad. I always had a great admiration for his manly, upright character. The firm have lost a valuable and most promising employee, and I a young who loss I feel keenly.”

‘Hucknall Dispatch’, 3rd January 1918.

Here is a list of 17 Derbyshire Yeomen who served at Gallipoli and later died in other Theatres (mostly Macedonia). I have researched over 1,500 DY men and I am certain that these men served at Gallipoli. All their MICs show landing in Egypt on 27th April 1915 from where the regiment sailed to Gallipoli, landing at Suvla Bay in the early hours of 18th August 1915. 8 of these men died in a small (Troop level) cavalry charge at what turned out to be Bulgarian MGs on 20th Aug 1916.  I hope this helps.

There is also Lt Col Oswald Mosely Crowshaw DSO who served at Gallipoli with the City of London Yeomanry (Roughriders), commanding A Sqn. He was originally 19th Hussars and then QOR Glasgow Yeomanry, then Roughriders and finally served with the Australian Army and died at Polygon Wood commanding the 53rd Bn AIF and by most accounts was a fairy exceptional individual.

Another Gallipoli survivor was Iwerne Minster-born L/Cpl Herbert  Walley, of the 5th Dorsets, who died in Flanders in October 1917  probably from wounds sustained in the later stages of the Passchendaele  offensive." (2)
