As we remember the 110th anniversary of this fateful operation, this talk studies the impact of football as a vehicle for morale/fitness/esprit de corps during the Gallipoli Campaign of 1915. In addition, it features several fascinating characters, on both sides of the wire, who served at Gallipoli including a number who never came home.
Clive Harris is currently researching a PhD on football's impact on the British Army during the Great War and has a deep personal connection to the Gallipoli Campaign in particular.
Light refreshments will be served at this event.
There is wheelchair access and an accessible toilet on site.
