One hundred years ago tomorrow my grandfather, Reginald William Parrish, landed on `X` Beach on Cape Helles, Gallipoli. A regular soldier and musician with the 2nd (City of London) Regiment, Royal Fusiliers, he fought in the 29th Division, termed `The Incomparables`.
Reginald`s own story of what happened on that fateful day will be included in `Two Lives, Two World Wars`. The book will encompass both his life and war experiences and those of his only son, Ted. Reginald came to live in Watford in 1919 and died there in the early 1950s.
Let us not forget those who lost their lives in Gallipoli 100 years ago.
