The Welsh at Gallipoli exhibition at the National Library of Wales

The National Library of Wales (www.llgc.org.uk) is taking its turn to host an exhibition entitled The Welsh at Gallipoli from Tuesday 13th October to Tuesday 3rd November 2015.

The exhibition tells the story of the Welsh soldiers who served throughout the Gallipoli campaign. It initially focuses on the Penmaenmawr ‘Quarry Boys’, Territorial soldiers who worked together at the local quarry, landed at Suvla Bay on 9 August 1915 and went into battle the following day. As the exhibition travels it will also relate the stories of men from other parts of Wales who fought at Gallipoli.

Future venues for the exhibition:

The Regimental Museum of the Royal Welsh in Brecon (6 November – 28 November)
Firing Line Museum at Cardiff Castle (7 December – 20 January)
Gregynog Hall, Montgomeryshire (25 January – 26 February)
