December 14, 200 p.m. Beuter a correspondent at Headquarters says that the stirring narratives of the wounded, confirm the grand work of the troops during the retreat against tenfold odds in men and guns, When we fell back to the third line two Companies of Innokillings, defending * Karis Ridge,” performed a prodigion, fest, bolding the enemy for the xbols morning, although only hacked by rifle fire. · Hardly a man escaped, but their magnificent stand gave us the much-areded time to complete our offensirs. The Bulgarian attacks were preced-in ad by a terrifo fire of high explosives and shrapnel, the former ending reck-splinters in all directizza Then came solidly massed infantry attacks, which ware punished severely, but the scarcity of guns did not permit us to take proper toll of their exposed ranks After emptying our magazines into the on coming rush, we tried to stem, the tide with the bayonet, but wars overborne by sheer weightį of numbers. Thus the position was lost. Nevertheless their heavy --caamalúss made the Bulgarians most cantions when approaching the second line, and they contented themselves with plastering it with high explosives. The position was soon untenshie, the troops falling back to the third line. It was here that the Inniskillings sacrificed themselves for the safety of the retreat.
