Stone-CAPTAIN/RICHARD WILLIS/LANCASHIRE FUSILIERS/25TH APRIL 1915; Dedication Plaque-"On 25 April 1915, three companies and the headquarters of the 1st Battalion/Lancashire Fusiliers, in effecting a landing on the Gallipoli Peninsula to the west of/Cape Helles, were met by a very deadly fire from hidden machine guns, which/caused a great number of casualties. The survivors, however, rushed up to and cut the entanglements, notwithstanding a terrific fire from the enemy, and, after overcoming/supreme difficulties, the cliffs were gained and the position maintained. Amongst/many gallant officers and men engaged in this most hazardous enterprise, Captain/Willis, Sergeant Richards and Private Keneally have been selected by their comrades/as having performed the most signal acts of bravery and devotion to duty."//Extract from London Gazette dated 24th August, 1915
