OTD 1915 Gallipoli Campaign Began

Gallipoli 1915:

The Allied forces land an invasionary force into two points in Gallipoli. Cape Helles and Gaba Tepe, later renamed Anzac Cove.
The Royal Munster Fusiliers & the Royal DublinFusiliers landed at V beach. Of the first 200 men off the SS Clyde only 21 men made it to shore. Of the 1,012 Dubliners who landed, just 11 survived the Gallipoli campaign unscathed.

After the landings, so few men remained from the Dublin and Munster Fusiliers that they were amalgamated into The Dubsters.
