In April 1915 this battalion landed on Gallipoli on the first day of the campaign but, as with the rest of the force, remained pinned down near Cape Helles. Fresh landings, together with a major attack from the original troops at the village of Krithia, were attempted on the 6th August but little progress was made.

Re: William John or William Thomas ?
I would add as GRO and make a note to say that army records say William John.
