Peninsula by Australians

AND CAPTURE TRENCH
Story of Campaign Against the
Turks as Told British Press
Representative.
l.0\nnx, May 7. J.45 a.m.?A Brit- j
ish press representative with the forces
in the Dardanelles sends a long and In
teresting account of the landing of the
Australians and New Zealanders on the
Gallipoli peninsula north of the Gaba
Tepeh at daylight of April 25.
"The night before," the account says,
"the entire fleet of warships and trans
ports left their rendezvous, the crews of
the warships cheering the soldiers on to
victory, while the bands played them out
with an endless variety of popular airs.
The arrangement was that the 29th Divi
sion should disembark near Seddul Bahr,
protected both from the Gulf of Saraos
and the Dardanelles by the fire of the
warships, the Australians and New Zea
landers, north of Gaba Tepeh to make a
demonstration farther north. The splen
did organization made it possible to
carry out the program without confusion
or accident.
All Lights Extinguished.
"After a short service by the chaplains
the ships parted company and made for
their landing places. At dusk all lights
were extinguished and the troops re
tired for rest before the ordeal of dawn.
It was a beautiful night, lit up by a very
bright half-moon. The sea was abso
lutely calm.
"Early in the morning the men were
aroused from their slumbers and served
with a hot meal. At 2:05 o'clock in the
morning the order was given to disem
bark. The boats, which were manned by
bluejackets and commanded by young
midshipmen, slowly were towed to the
beach by pinnaces.
"The first authentic news we re
ceived on board the battleship London
of the landing came with the return
of our boats. The steamer pinnace
came alongside with two recumbent
forms on her deck and a small figure,
pale but cheerful and waving his
hand, astern. They were one of our
midshipmen, just sixteen years of age,
who was shot through the stomach but
regarded his injury more as a fitting
consummation to a glorious holiday
ashore than a wound, and the chief
stoker and a petty officer.
"All three were wounded by the first
burst of musketry, which caused many
casualties in the boats just aa they
reached the beach. From them we
learned that all the tows had almost
reached the beach when a party of
Turks, intrenched almost on the
shore, opened up a terrible fusillade
from their rifles and also from a
maxim. Fortunately most of the bul
lets went high, but nevertheless many
men were hit as they sat huddled to
gether, forty or fifty in a boat.
Australians Wade Ashore.
The Australian volunteers waited
neither for orders nor for boats to
reach the beach, but springing out
into the sea they waded ashore and
forming some sort of a rough line
rushed straight on toward the flashes
of the enemy's rifles.
"Their magazines had not even been
charged but they just went in with
cold steel. And I believe I am right
in saying that the first Ottoman Turk
since the last crusade received an
Anglo-Saxon bayonet in him at five
minutes after 5 o'clock on the morn
ing of April 25.
"It was over in a minute. The Turk*
in this first trench were bayoneted or ran
away, and their maxim gun was cap
tured.
"Then the Australians found themselves
facing an almost perpendicular cliff of
loose sandstone with thick shrubbery, and
somewhere half way up the enemy had a
second trench, strongly held, from which
they poured a terrific fire on the troops
below, and the boat pulling back to the
destroyers for a second landing party.
Colonials in Impetuous Charge.
"The colonials stopped a few minutes
to pull themselves together and to get
rid of their parks, and then charged with
their magazines.
"Then this race of athletes proceeded
to scale cliffs without responding to the
enemy's fire. And in lees than a quarter
of an hour the Turks were out of their
seoor.d x>ositIon, either bayoneted or in full
retreat
"In the early part of the day very heavy
casualties were suffered In the boats
which conveyed the troops from the de
stroyers, tugs and transports to the beach.
As soon as it became light the enemy's
sharpshooters concentrated their fire on
the boats when they got near in. The
landing continued throughout the day under
this fire, which could not be checked.
"The Australians finally established
themselves on a ridge and advanced
northward, and throughout the day
confused fighting took place," the ships
assisting the troops with the fire from
their guns. The Turks only had a com
paratively weak force actually holding
the beach. They seemed to have relied
on the difficult nature of the ground
and their scattered sniping to delay
the advance until they had brought up
reinforcements from the interior.
Suffer Heavy Losses.
"Some of the Australians who pushed
inland counter-attacked and were al
most outflanked by these oncoming
reserves and had to fall back, after j
suffering very heavy casualties.
"It was then the turn of the Turks
to counter-attack, and this they con
tinued to do throughout the afternoon,
but the Australians never yielded a
foot of ground on the main ridge and
reinforcements were continually poured
up from the beach.
"As soon as t lie light became good
the Turks enfiladed t lie beach with
field guns. This shrapnel fire was in
cessant and deadly. The Turkish guns,
however, finally were put out of action
by the ships.
"The Turks brought up reinforce
ment and the pressure on the coloni
als became greater, but they held on
in face of the difficulties, which in
cluded the landing of water, ammuni
tion and supplies on the narrow beach
and carrying them up the bluffs sev
eral hundred feet high to the firing
lines, winle the troops were exposed
to an incessant shrapnel fire.
"Another problem was taking the
wounded back to the ships, but the
wounded men showed the greatest
fortitude, cheering the ships as they i
passed in their boats."
Planning Handle Highlands Meeting 1

committee of the Handle Highlands Cit
izens' Association was held last night
