Pte. William Redpath

from:Greenlaw, Berwickshire, Scotland
(d.28th June 1915)
My great uncle, William Redpath, was killed on the 28th of June 1915, in the third battle of Krythia. He fell during an attack on a series of Turkish positions at Fir Tree Spur. The positions were captured but at a heavy cost. Fifteen officers, including the CO, Lt Col S R Dunn, and 204 other ranks were killed. Six officers and 141 other ranks were wounded.
According to the war memorial at Greenlaw in Berwickshire, Scotland, where William is honoured: "In no mans land the dry scrub caught fire and many of the wounded perished who otherwise might have survived." My great uncle has no known grave but his name is on the Helles Memorial.
As a young man travelling around Europe I passed within a few miles of Gallipoli on my way from Greece to Istanbul. Sadly I did not know very much about William at the time, only that he had been killed in WWI. I doubt any member of the family has ever been as close to the site of his death and I regret the missed opportunity to pay my respects. If anyone has any information about William I would be grateful if it were passed on.

Pte. G. Redshaw
Army 6th Btn. Durham Light Infantry
Pte. Henry Ree
British Army 7th Btn. Kings Shropshire Light Infantry
from:Yarkhill, Herefordshire
(d.30th Mar 1918)
Henry Ree died of wounds on 30th of March 1918 and was finally interred in Sauchy Cauchy Cemetery. I have been endeavouring to establish where he was located when he was wounded. So far, the best I have been able to establish is that Henry was probably wounded during the period 21st to 28th of March 1918 when the 7th Battalion, according to the War Diary, suffered 174 wounded ORs. During this period the Unit was located near Heninel. Given the proximity of Sauchy Cauchy to Heninel it appears probable, assuming Henry was with the 7th, he was one of the 174. Henry was 25 years old when he died and is remembered in the churches at Stoke Edith and Yarkhill in Herefordshire.
Pte. Henry Ree
British Army 7th Btn. Kings Shropshire Light Infantry

He was taken to Estrees Field Hospital where he died of wounds on the 30th of March 1918. He was interred at Eltrees and then on 30th of September 1920 finally laid to rest in Sauchy Cauchy Cemetery, France.
