The role of island soldiers who fought in WW1 Gallipoli campaign has been marked
with events in Lewis. The Ross Mountain Battery - mainly men from the island - were
amongst the first to storm the Gallipoli Peninsula, in what is now modern-day Turkey.
A wreath-laying ceremony at the drill hall war memorial and a two-minute silence
was held at the Territorial Army Drill Hall in Church Street. Earlier, a service
was held in Martin’s Memorial Church followed by a parade through Stornoway town
centre.
