James Rigby 11691
A Private with the Border Regiment
James Rigby of the 6th Bn. D Coy was killed in action in the Great War after the Landings at Suvla Bay, Gallipoli in Turkey on 09/08/1915.
James Rigby is my Great Grandfather on my father's side of the family.
General Hamilton with three more Allied Divisions, tried to outflank the Turks on Gallipoli with further landings on the 6th. These take place just to the north of Anzac Cove and the ANZAC forces, at Suvla Bay, with the aim of reaching Sair Bair. In the face of the Turkish Fifth Army, now 13 divisions strong, the attempt fails.
He is commemorated on the Helles Memorial Panel 119 to 125 or 222 and 223.
