Description: | Photocopies of ts transcripts of two accounts (23pp) and a journal letter to his family (15pp), dated September 1915, describing his passage from the United Kingdom to Gallipoli in an unidentified troopship as the United Free Church of Scotland chaplain to the 157th Infantry Brigade (52nd Division), their landing at Cape Helles, Gallipoli on 3 July, the action of Achi Baba Nullah on 12 - 14 July during which the Brigade's three Highland Light Infantry battalions suffered heavy casualties and general conditions on the Peninsula. The documents also reflect his high regard for the senior Regular Army officers in his Division and his poor opinion of some Kitchener Army officers and include short but interesting accounts of the reception of the wounded and the burial of the dead.
