Gallipoli by Charles Dixon  Although a very brown picture, it shows the Lancashire Regiment, coming of the beaches during the Gallipoli Campaign  Landing troops From the River Clyde at V Beach Gallipoli Peninsula by Charles Dixon RA  The landing from the River Clyde at V Beach, Gallipoli Peninsula was begun early in the morning of 25th April. As the vessel made her way to the spot where she was to be beached the British warships began to shell the shore batteries. No sooner had she grounded than doors cut in her sides were thrown open to let out the 2,000 men she was carrying. Many were shot as they rushed down the platform onto the lighters, and as those in the picket boats which the River Clyde had towed, jumped into the shallow water, they came under a storm of shot and shell, besides which they had to force their way through three lines of wire entanglements and a maze of trenches. The greatest bravery was shown by all and no less than 6 VC's were gained in the undertaking.
