Beautiful Worship ~ Enquiring Minds ~ Open Hearts Holy Trinity Gallipoli Chapel Memorial Fund Remembering their sacrifice GALLIPOLI CAMPAIGN CENTENARY 2015 “Each night we have heavy gun fire – we are within a few yards of the sea – on the top of a slope, and every day we get shelled. The landing was awful – men and officers shot down in shoals, caught in wires – killed, wounded, drowned. “ Extract from a letter from the Revd Henry Hall to his wife On 25 April 2015 we will commemorate the courage, suffering, sacrifice and contribution made by the forces of all nations involved in the Gallipoli Peninsula campaign during the First World War one hundred years ago. At Holy Trinity we have a unique memorial: the Gallipoli Memorial Chapel. Originally dedicated to the men of the British Army’s 29th Division who did not return, the Chapel has since served as an international focus for remembering the horror, death and carnage suffered by all involved. Henry Hall, Holy Trinity’s Vicar during the War, Chaplain to the 29th Division and the original force behind the Chapel, has ensured that their memories live on. The Chapel, which has seen an annual Gallipoli Memorial Service every year since 1921, internationally rich lectures telling of the horror from all perspectives between 1985 and 2000, now needs refurbishing. The Gallipoli Chapel Memorial Fund has been set up by Members of Holy Trinity’s congregation to raise the necessary funds to complete this work in time for the ANZAC Centenary Commemoration.
