My grandfather, Harold Pery Poxon, was with the Derbyshire Yeomanry. He fought at Suvla Bay, Gallipoli in August, 1915. I wish I knew more about his army service. I do know that he worked for Rolls Royce when he was younger, as did other members of the family..
I have lived d in Australia for more than thirty years and sadly, knew very little about my family history when I lived in the UK. I have made up for it since then and have traced many family members back to the 1700's, including the Poxon family and the Pegler family, my mother's and father's family respectively.
Gallipoli has a very special place in the hearts of Australians and this year is the 100 year anniversay of battle of Gallipoli and The Anzacs, being the first time that Australian and New Zealand troops had fought alongside each other in battle.
