Gallipoli

Weir collected and prepared his unit at the Morphettville Racecourse, then, at that point, set out with them
on the vehicle Ascanius on 20 October 1914 as the primary guard of Australian soldiers left for abroad
help. On appearance in Fremantle, six organizations of the eleventh Unit were left on the vehicle, and
Weir was named Official Ordering Troops for the voyage.[7] The soldiers started landing at Alexandria on
6 December 1914, and were entrained for Cairo, where they started to camp out at Mena.[8] The
Australian Authority War Student of history, Charles Bean, depicted Weir as being "fairly better than
expected in years" for a legion commander.[9] Following the Partnered choice to land a power on the
Gallipoli Promontory, the third Detachment was chosen as the covering force for the arrival at Anzac Bay.
The tenth Regiment left for the Greek island of Lemnos in the northern Aegean Ocean on 1 Walk 1915,
and after additional preparation on Lemnos, the contingent was one of the initial two units aground on the
morning of 25 April 1915.[10]

During the arrival, when the boats conveying the lead components of the regiment were around 40 yards
(37 m) from shore, as per Bean, Weir saw to one more official in his boat that everything was quiet, yet
not long after Ottoman soldiers started terminating at the arrival force.[11] Weir arrived with the scout unit,
and encouraged the two his men and those of the ninth Legion to promptly start climbing the precipices
that disregarded the beach.[12] Weir, alongside "B" and "C" Organizations of the legion, arrived at what
later became known as "Plugge’s Plateau".[13] Weighty battling followed the underlying landing and, in
something like five days, a big part of Weir’s force had been killed or wounded.[2] The Australian and
New Zealand advance inland from Anzac Bay was in this way really taken a look at by the safeguarding
Ottoman powers and was in the end contained in a little foothold inside a progression of edges that ran
around the bay. Weir was the main superior from the third Unit to proceed of the principal edge, and an
edge running off the 400 Level hence became known as "Weir Ridge".[12]

As impasse set in, Weir kept on directing his unit all through the beginning phases of the mission until 25
August, when he was delegated acting brigadier general and put in charge of the third Detachment. On
11 September, he turned out to be sick and was cleared to Malta, where he was confessed to medical
clinic. He was thusly cleared to the Assembled Realm, where he convalesced until January 1916, when
he was selected commandant of the Australian support camp at Weymouth, Dorset.[14]
