To: 2715 Pte. Patrick LENNARD.1st Bn Lancashire Fusiliers.

KILLED IN ACTION 25th April 1915
at 'W' Beach Gallipoli.

(1st Day of The Gallipoli Landings)

The 1st Lancashire Regt famously won SIX VICTORIA CROSSES BEFORE BREAKFAST on 25th April 1915.

The M.I.C. of Patrick Lennard states KILLED IN ACTION 25-4-15 and he’s also recorded as such in the L.F’s official history. In reality, he was almost certainly killed while in one of the “A” company landing boats or actually on W beach.

Patrick is also entitled to a 1914-15 Star Trio.
