Scottish soldier's family honors him in Gallipoli

Around 100 grandchildren of a Scottish soldier, who was injured in the Battle of Gallipoli in 1915, returned to the site of the battle ground to honor their grandfather, while also coming together with the descendants of a Turkish solider who had fought on the opposing side. 

Alastair Fraser was born in 1877 and sent to Gallipoli in 1915, where he fought with the allies against the then Ottoman Empire in the Battle of Gallipoli during World War I. He was injured and sent back to Scotland, where he was told by a doctor he would not be able to have any children due to his injuries. However, Fraser's faith proved the doctor wrong, as his wife gave birth to a child in 1916. Fraser and his wife had six children in total following the war. His wife put the bullet which injured him on top of a pen and she wrote a diary with it. Fraser's grandchildren still treasure that pen as a precious memory from their grandparents.
  
A century later, the grandchildren of the Scottish soldier decided to visit the lands where their grandfather fought and some of their older relatives were also killed and laid to rest. The Fraser family has grown to 170 people, almost 230 with their wives, in four generations following the war. 

A Turkish tour guide organized the visit of some 94 grandchildren of the Scottish soldier to the area where he sustained the injuries which might have prevented him having children. 

Members of Fraser family got on a boat in Kabatepe and reached Suvla Bay, one of the main landing points during the battle, in the northwestern Turkish province of Çanakkale. They played traditional highland bagpipes while wearing their traditional clothes and went to Green Hill where six of their relatives were buried.
