FOLEY Pte P 502 M. April 2 1915
This man was killed and I saw him dead on the first day that we landed. We were pushed back some distance, so his body was left out.

This man was wounded in the foot by shrapnel during the advance on April 25th 1915 at 5 o'clock in the evening close to Shrapnel Gully. I was only 20 yards away from him at the time. He went off limping to the dressing station and I never saw him again. We held the ground that day. Foley was a little dark chap, about 5' 6", cleanshaven and about 35 years of age.
