266 British Soldiers Disappear In 1915 Without A Trace

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


One of the strangest occurrences of the entire First World War – the disappearance of an entire regiment of men in the midst of battle during the infamous Gallipoli campaign. The incident came to light mainly through the eyewitness account of three members of a New Zealand field company, who said that they watched from a clear vantage point as a battalion of the Royal Norfolk Regiment marched up a hillside in Suvla Bay, Turkey. The hill was shrouded in a low-lying mist that the English soldiers marched straight into without hesitation. They never came out. After the last of the battalion had entered the mist, it slowly lifted off the hillside to join the clouds in the sky. When the Great War was over, assuming that the battalion had been captured and held prisoner, the British government demanded that Turkey return them. The Turks insisted, however, that they had neither captured not made contact with these English soldiers and ever since then theories have abounded as to their fate.
 
 
I don’t think there is anyway to explain this as rational but there are other ways.  To me I think the most obvious is a mass UFO abduction.  There have been sightings of UFOs describd as clouds before and we know UFOs abduct people so why not.  I would love to go here and investigate the site of the disappearence.  It would be an amazing investigation. -Mort

      You have to wonder about someone who says, “The most obvious answer is mass UFO abduction”. It was war. They all died.

    • agw nonsense

      It wasn’t the troops in the picture, They are Australian

      Their bodies were actually found AFTER the war but no details of HOW they died exist.

      The 5th. Battalion of “The Norfolks” was one of the First World War Battalions of the British Army which were called “Pal’s Battalions”. These occured in many regiments, and were comprised of men who were recruited during the war from men with a close civilian connection. They might have been from the same district of a city (or even a number of streets situated close together), or could have been working for a particular employer at the outbreak of war. The men of “The 5th” were unique in that nearly all of them were employed by The Royal Family on their Sandringham Estate in Norfolk, or had family connections to Sandringham. This battalion was therefore originally dubbed “The Sandringham Battalion”.

      The 5th. later became known as “The Vanished Battalion” because they were seen by men of other units to march into battle against the Turks at Suvla Bay, Gallipoli on 12 August 1915 and were never seen again. The Dardanelles Campaign on the Gallipoli peninsula in Turkey was abandoned in December 1915 and all British and Commonwealth troops were evacuated. The bodies of “The Vanished Battalion” were not found until after the war, in 1919. Even then, the details of their fate remained largely unknown.

        They were eventually found as indicated. They wre either killed in a fire fight or if they surrendered they were murdered by Turkish soldiers. They were mostly soldiers enlisted from the Royal Estate at Sandringham and led by the estate manager, a former soldier. There was a book written about this incident and also a documentary. Some survived having been wounded before the advance into the mist.

      No ufo’s involved – but reality here really is stranger than fiction – They probably just knew too much family gossip about the Windsors situation with Russian tsar and were sacrificed by the satanic Royal family to the ‘god of war’ Winston Churchill – along with millions of others – in order to make the world safe for evil banksters, so that the evil banksters could prepare for the next, and even more bloody and profitable war -

      During World War I, Britain executed many of its own soldiers, some as young as 14 years of age.
      Field Punishment Number 1, commonly known as ‘crucifixion’. The article was written by Robert Blatchford who quoted a letter that he had received describing the punishment given to a soldier who had lost his gas helmet in a marsh. The young soldier was tied by the neck, waist, hands and feet in a crucifiction position. The soldier died. Field Punishment Number 1 required the offender to be tied up in the crucifiction position for two hours a day for three consecutive days out of four for a period totalling up to 21 days. During World War One, over 3,000 young British soldiers were sentenced to death by military courts. Crucifying Tommy: Punishment in the First World War

      Remember: they executed nurse Edith Cavell, after she dicovered that ‘Belgian Relief’ supplies were feeding the German army, arranged in order to prolong the war and maximise profits – The war cost 100 million dollars per day – The British national debt had increased by 924% between 1913 and 1918, while the profits of the Global Elite companies soared. The capital of DuPont (Comm 300) alone increased from $83 million to $308 million during the years of the First World War.

      Mort:

      You appear to be accurate in your assumption or judgment of ‘Aliens’ being responsible for the disappearance of the soldiers.

      It appears that this group of soldiers was removed from this reality and went through a cloud or rather, a cloud that housed an invisible craft that was implementing normal procedures of ‘mass abductions’.

      The purpose behind this common (but rarely observed or understood) event was…to add to their ( ETs) cultural workforce. They appear to have been in need of added workers and also a need for more added strength in their personal armies and that these soldiers were not the ‘only’ humans being kidnapped in that time-frame of Earth’s history.

      For many, this is a subject that requires a rather large degree of open mindedness and advanced physics and quantum physics education, and so, most who read this message will have no clear understanding or will relate to this info., as it requires a greater understanding and mental development towards the acceptance of things we do not normally experience in our daily lives.

      P.S. Mort, even if you did travel to this mysterious site, it would have little benefit for you, as there is no evidence left behind that would offer you any tangible leads or explanations, as these particular ETs who are still abducting individuals are extremely careful as to leaving evidence or witnesses around after one of their ‘kidnapping operations’, and so, it appears to be more beneficial for you to ‘trust’ your own inner gut feeling and develop that aspect of your life’s purpose.

      Best Wishes.

      With respect….

        Or, you know, they just might’ve died because it was war.

        But no, of course not. It must’ve been the aliens! Pitiful.

      “To me I think the most obvious is a mass UFO abduction.”

      most obvious? lol..

      the page you linked to has a more OBVIOUS explanation..

      “Can the true fate of the 5th Battalion now be more fully explained?

      In that after their bold dash through the wood on the 12th of August…

      Colonel Beauchamp and the Sandringhams were overwhelmed by their Turkish enemies…

      They were either captured or they surrendered…

      The Turks took no prisoners…

      So they were butchered…and buried.

      Is this what became of the Vanished Battalion?”

      stop being such an idiot.

    • pauldoug

      The battle of Gallipoli was one of the bloodiest battles in WWI, they were machine gunned down trying to advance in day light across an open field against a dug in enemy position. That was the way this mindless war was fought, thank God we were only in it for less than a year.

    • Blackie the faithful border collie

      Your in a war with atrocious casualties but the most obvious explanation is a mass UFO abduction. Best laugh of the day. :lol:
