Abstract

Whilst writing the history of the 9th (service) Battalion Sherwood Foresters (Notts & Derby Regiment) I was given Reg's poem and his photo to use. I thought it worthy of inclusion. The 9th Bn SF as part of 33rd Brigade, 11th Division suffered heavy casualties at Suvla Bay. This moved Reg to pen his poem.
