Structure, governance and management
Gallipoli Music Memorial 2015 is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) and was established with approval of the Charity Commission on 7[th] August 2014. The CIO is governed by a constitution.
The object of the CIO is:
• to advance the education of the public in the subject of the origins, events and aftermath of the Gallipoli campaign of 1915-1916, particularly in relation to the stories and creations of the musicians, artists and writers fighting there in the British and Ottoman armed forces.
Trustee appointments were made in August 2014 for a three-year term. Trustees may serve up to three consecutive terms before a break is enforced. The Trustees meet three times annually.

Partnership with Lauderdale House
On the 7[th] June we were delighted to work in partnership once again with Lauderdale House in North London on an evening called Commemorating Gallipoli: art, music and stories from the front line’.
The military historian Peter Hart turned his incisive gaze, sense of humour and deep understanding of Gallipoli (from many interviews with veterans) onto the withdrawal of the English & their allies from the peninsula, the one successful operation of the campaign.
Alison Guill with pianist Stephen Hose performed songs by William Denis Browne and FS 'Cleg' Kelly and Alison read some light, dark and occasionally downright rude writing by A.P.Herbert.
Among the stories, the audience heard of an extraordinary coincidence: ancestors of Katherine Ives, Director of Lauderdale House, and Nick Peacey, Vice Chair of Lauderdale House & Secretary of GMM2015/, were both serving in the Royal Naval Division and went over the top a few hundred yards from one another at 12 noon on the 4th June 1915 in the catastrophic Allied attack in the third battle of Krithia. Sub-Lieutenant William Denis Browne, Nick’s great uncle, was mortally wounded within the first hour of the advance; Chief Petty Officer Fred Stear, Katherine's great grandfather, rallied troops at a critical moment of the battle and won the Conspicuous Gallantry Medal, second only to the Victoria Cross, for his bravery.

Beating the Drum for Enfield's Turkish musical heritage
GMM2015 Trustees have always sought proper recognition for the music and musicians that formed the context of life for the thousands from the Ottoman Empire hurled into the Gallipoli campaign.
We were delighted to announce that the Untold Edmonton programme in Enfield, North London, a programme supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund, has awarded GMM2015 and our partner the Enfield Music Education Hub £4,000 for Beating the Drum for Enfield's Turkish musical heritage . This project seeks to raise awareness of that heritage in Enfield, where many families of Turkish origin live, through performance and new, detailed, school learning programmes. It will run in February and March 2024.
The project, though small at present, is planned as pilot and proof of concept of significant development work within the English music national curriculum. National curriculum guidance at present gives little encouragement or assistance to primary school teachers wishing to open their music lessons to the Middle East musical traditions that so many pupils - a large minority group in Edmonton - have as their heritage. This, sadly,is true of the heritage music of many other ethnic minorities in the UK.
