Our second walk in September : Darwen Men at Gallipoli

On Sunday 15th September 2024 we held our 2nd walk on a very wet Sunday afternoon.

The walk explained how some of the men from Darwen and who are buried in the Cemetery who fought in Gallipoli during WW1 and managed to survive the campaign but unfortunately died in other battles or died on their return to the UK.

Thank you to the 15 visitors who braved the wind and rain to make the walk.

If you missed the walk the book can be bought for £2.50 through this website.

We dedicated the book to the 100+ Darwen men who died during the Gallipoli campaign.

Thanks to Tony Foster for leading the walk and members of FODC to help organise the event, and thanks Alan for the photographs.
