Dear Sir,

I hereby make application for the Anzac Badge and Medallions as advised in the "Daily Telegraph".

My Regimental No. was
T/Sgt 1171
9th Battalion

I was in the first boat to land on Gallipoli - with James D Bostock who has been officially credited as the Second Soldier to land on Gallipoli.

Yours faithfully
AH Reynolds

 

Note: James D Bostock = 1109 Private James Dundee BOSTOCK.

James Dundee BOSTOCK is also attributed in some sources as being the first AIF member to land at Gallipoli on 25 April 1915.
