Gurkha Rifles in bivouacs, 1915

Photograph, World War One, Gallipoli (1915).

Thousands of soldiers from the Indian Army fought on the Gallipoli Peninsula, yet their contribution has never received the same attention as that of the famous ANZAC troops. Gurkha units that served in the Dardanelles included 1st Battalion, 5th Gurkha Rifles, 1st Battalion, 6th Gurkha Rifles, and 2nd Battalion, 10th Gurkha Rifles.

From an album of photographs compiled by Lieutenant (later Lieutenant-General Sir) Reginald Arthur Savory, 14th Sikh Regiment.
