9792 Pte William Vanderplank, 10th Bn, Hants Regt

One thousand, three hundred and fifty-seven men died on this single day in 1915, the majority of these on Gallipoli. Romsey-born 9792 Private William Vanderplank of the 10th Battalion, Hampshire Regiment, was one of the day's fatalities. He was killed in action on the 10th August, just five days after having arrived on the peninsular. He was living in Romsey but had enlisted at Winchester. He has no known grave and is commemorated on the Helles Memorial.

At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, WE WILL REMEMBER THEM.
