"VALOUR OF IGNORANCE:
By Tolcsrapli—Press AEeociation-OopyTight Sydnßy, Juno 15. An officer of the Australian Light Horse writes: "It has been said that tho bravery shown in the Gallipoli campaign might have been the valour of ignorance; but, having lived with c.ur boya for nine months convinces me that they always stick to it to tlle last man. There will be no breaking under tho strain. There is no doubt that in the first battle they did suffer to a greater extent than would trained soldiers, through reckless and impetuous bravery. The imturo of the country absolutely precluded control by either officers or men, and it was simply up to individuals to act on their owii initiative."
