WW1 British Army 1915 medal Star to Private Marsh, 6th Battalion Loyal North Lancashire Regiment, who was ‘Killed in Action’ at Chunik Bair, Gallipoli, in which his body was never recovered. 1914-15 Star, impressed named 12548 PTE J. MARSH. L.N.LAN:R. Comes with copies medal index card, medal rolls, “Burnt “enlistment papers and extensive research. Pte James Marsh was born in Wigan UK in 1881. He joined the 6th Battalion Loyal North Lancashire Regiment on the 1/9/1914. He landed in the Gallipoli theatre on the 15/6/1915. On the 6/8/1915, the 6th were then deployed to Anzac Cove. Pte Marsh was initially reported as missing on the 9/8/1915 when the Turks attacked Chunuk Bair. His body was never recovered. A historical narrative of the Turkish attack explains: ‘At daybreak on Tuesday 10th August, the Turks delivered a grand attack from the Chunuk Bair Hill-Q against these two battalions, already weakened in numbers, though not in spirit, by previous fighting. First our men were shelled by every enemy gun, and then, at 5.30am, were assaulted by a huge column consisting of no less than a full division, plus a regiment of three battalions. The Loyal North Lancashire men were simply overwhelmed in their shallow trenches by sheer weight in numbers, whilst the Wiltshire’s who were caught in the open, were literally almost annihilated. The ponderous mass of enemy swept over the crest, turned the right flank of our line below, swarmed round the Hampshire’s and General Baldwin’s column, which had to which had to give ground and were only extricated with great difficulty and very heavy losses. Towards this supreme struggle the absolute last two battalions from our general reserve were now hurried, but by 10am, the effort of the enemy was spent. Soon their shattered remnants began to trickle back, leaving a track of corpses behind them, and by nightfall, except prisoners or wounded, no live Turk was left upon our side of the slope’.
