1st Norfolk Regiment: Sandringham Company
This unit, 'The Sandringham Pals' is perhaps better known as 'The Vanished Battalion', as most of them perished in an ill-conceived attack on 12th August 1915 at Suvla.
That they became so famous, was due to three factors : first of all, most of them were employed by the English Royal Family at the Sandringham Estate. A second strange fact was that - officially at least - their bodies were not found. And last but not least, long after the war, a strange story popped up, when two Gallipoli veterans declared they had seen the Norfolks march into a strange cloud, that engulfed them, then lifted and drifted away, leaving nobody behind. Clearly the work of an early UFO and a legend was born.
In the meantime, the definitive book on the matter is available and the BBC has even made a documentary film about the affair. What is harder to find however, is the official regimental history, published after the war, in which the few survivors tell about their experiences in Gallipoli at the time.
