Use class instead of ID, repeating ID's isn't a good idea.

Using classes you solve your problem: jsfiddle

<a href="www.google.com" class="galImage">
<img src="http://www.savoryspiceshop.com/content/mercury_modules/cart/items/3/0/3/3030/rogan-josh-salt-free-thumbnail-fw232.jpg">
</a>
    <br />
<a href="www.yahoo.com" class="galImage">
<img src="http://www.savoryspiceshop.com/content/mercury_modules/cart/items/2/9/8/2986/italian-herbs-salt-free-thumbnail-fw232.jpg">
</a>

$('.galImage').click(function(e){
        e.preventDefault();
        alert($(this).attr("href"));
    });
