THE DARDANELLES OPERATIONS.

DESPATCH FROM GENERAL HAMILTON.

LONDON, July 6,

General Sir Ian Hamilton's despatch, besides giving the minutest details War of the sacly operations by which the Allies crapt towards Krithia, is a 'historical document showing that the gallantry of the British and French has never! besa excelled in the world's history,

Sir Ian Hamilton pays repeated tributes to the officers and mean, the whole despatch showing that the landing on the Gallipoli. Paninsula was little short of miraculous. For example, he may, regarding the defences of the beach westward of Seddelbahr:-

My frm conviction is that no fuer tent of arras has ever beon achieved by British soldiers or any other; spldiers then the storming of these trenches from open bunte,”

Such phrases AS: "A barricans of lead swept the battalion, and a long

·ling of men wera mown down as by a scythe" ere almost commonplaces in this despatch. An insight into the whole campaign is afforded by this following: *briel extract:-

"At first we had them fairly on the ruc, and bụt for the inventions of

the devil, machine-guns, and barbed wire, we should not have stopped short

- at the crest of Achibaba,"

V

Sir Ian Hamilton has the highest praise for the Navy and bis Staff, and declares that the Navy and Army barmonized perfectly, and throughout all the ovent the Navy has been “father and mother to the Army."-
