Remembering Gallipoli 1915. We are very fortunate that a Radley parent recently had the opportunity to visit the British War Graves Commission cemeteries on the Gallipoli Peninsular. He took the names of those Radleians who fell during the Gallipoli Campaign with him and photographed as many as possible for us. This is a wonderful gift as, although we are slowly gathering photos of the War Graves, it seemed unlikely that we would receive many from so far away.

This summer, two boys will be visiting as many Radleian War Graves in France and Flanders as possible as part of a 150 mile sponsored walk.

Please do not hesitate to contact the Archivist if you are planning a similar visit. She can easily supply the names and grave references and would be delighted to receive any photos to add to our commemoration.
