Three: Sergeant J. Bennett, Manchester Regiment, who was killed in action at Gallipoli on 7 August 1915

R.); Memorial Plaque (John Bennett) mounted for display purposes; together with a fine Great War-era bound photograph album believed to have been compiled by the recipient, the photographs mainly taken in Egypt and Malta in late 1914 and early 1915 prior to the Gallipoli campaign, traces of adhesive to reverse of plaque, nearly very fine (4) £160-£200

John Bennett attested for the Manchester Regiment and served with the 1/6th Battalion during the Greaty War at Gallipoli from 5 May 1915. Moved to bivouacs above the cliffs of ‘W’ Beach at Helles, the Battalion spent the following days advancing along the Krithia Road before participating in the Third Battle of Krithia on 4 June 1915; the previous failures in the first and second battles resulted in a less ambitious plan being developed for the attack designed to capture the high ground of Achi Baba, but the outcome proved another costly failure for the Allies. Posted to “C” Company, Bennett was killed in action on 7 August 1915, aged just 23 years. He has no known grave and is commemorated upon the Helles Memorial, Turkey.
