BRAW LADDIES AMIDST THE CLASH OF THE EMPIRES

A Memorial Service has been

held in Hawick every July since

1916 to mark the loss of so

many local men in one day at

Gully Ravine. In 1965 a small

group of survivors fromHawick

travelled back to the Helles

Peninsula to commemorate

their fallen comrades. In 2015

a group from Hawick will again

travel to the site of the battle to

commemorate the occasion.
