Hi,
Along with the gallant ANZAC's landed at Gallipoli were troops of the 52nd Lowland Division comprising mainly of men recruited from the Glasgow area. Among them were men of the Highland Light Infantry. My great-uncle was in the H.L.I. prior to WW1 demobbed in 1912 and recalled to duty in 1916. The attached photos are of the 7th Battalion leaving, possibly for the Gallipoli campaign. The 18th Battalion returning home in 1918 and a drum in my collection belonging to the 17th Service Battalion (Glasgow Chamber of Commerce) who's men saw action in France from 1915.
WE WILL REMEMBER THEM

Regards,
Norman.
