    Description
    A stone tablet with two bronze plaques set in it with the commemoration between them. The upper plaque depicts an imagined scene from Gallipoli where Commander Unwin and Able Seaman Williams are straining to keep the barges straight. Midshipman Drewry's steam hopper is nearby whilst, on the bows of the River Clyde is a maxim gun maned by, amongst others, Josiah Wedgewood, MP, and Lieutenant The Honourable Arthur Coke. Commander Samson is flying an RNAS plane: HMS Lord Nelson and Queen Elizabeth are on the skyline. The lower plaque carries a map of Gallipoli.
