P8. Trio: 1914/15 star, British War and Victory Medal all correctly impressed to 549 PTE. L. J. McCONNOCHIE 7/BN AIF.

Emb: 19^th October 1914

Leslie James McConnochie appears to have been wounded in the Gallipoli  landing with the first entry in his records showing he was admitted to the Alexandria hospital on the 3oth April 1915 (above the “30” date entry is “25” to indicate the injury was during the initial landing.) What is amazing about Private McConnochies Gallipoli story is that he was shot no less than seven times and survived.

“Three bullet marks right shoulder, two on left forearm. Two bullet wnds. Right groin. One bullet wound right pubic region”.

It took two operations to remove all seven bullets and when he was discharged in Australia he refused to take a pension which would class him as an invalid.

RTA 1^st October 1915 and discharged 13^th March 1916

I know of no other ANZAC who sustained seven gunshots during the initial landing or over the whole Gallipoli campaign and survive.
