Neither of the 2 active Battalions of the Scots Guards saw action in Gallipoli in the Great War. There were, however, a considerable number of Scottish units in Gallipoli -such as the Royal Scots, etc. Are you sure that your Grandfather was in the Scots Guards?

I am quite happy to check your grandfather on Ancestry - assuming it has not already been done.

Some WW1 service records and medal cards are available there.

Let me know.

Regards

Richie
