My two uncles were both serving in the Royal Dublin Fusiliers in 1914. Corporal Alfred Betts 1st Battalion landed from the HMT River Clyde on the 25th April 1915, onto "V" Beach at Gallopoli. He was killed on the 1st November 1915. His brother Serjeant Frederick Betts 2nd Battalion was killed in the first Battle of Mons on the 27th August 1914 only three day after the war started.
