Just A Walk In The Sun with the Hereford Regiment Museum
The Herefords' first 24 hours at Suvla Bay, Gallipoli
Colonel Andy Taylor and Rev Paul Roberts reconvene after the summer break, on the hottest day of the year, to follow in the footsteps of the Herefordshire Regiment at Gallipoli. The Suvla Bay landings on 9th August 1915 were fraught with confusion, frustration and missed opportunities.
Find out in this podcast how the Herefordshire men coped with being landed at the wrong place, with inadequate maps and water supplies, and with very sketchy orders. Our pair look through eyewitness accounts of those first 24 hours and discuss the background of the campaign as well as reasons for the failure of the landings.
