War Service

Adrian and his older brother Henry enlisted together in February 1915 and in April boarded the Honorata bound for Egypt, and then  Gallipoli in June. On 27 July 1915, after two weeks in reserve, the 11th Battalion relieved the 12th Battalion at Tasmanian Post, on the right on the Australian front line. On 31 July, a party of around 200 men was ordered to capture a section of Turkish trenches in front of the battalion’s position. After engineers detonated three mines prepared near Turkish communications trenches, the storming party captured the Turkish trench following a bayonet charge, in which one officer and 36 other ranks were killed.  It was during this battle that Adrian Monger was killed in action.
