"BUT WE GOT THERE"
Private Clifford Hoyle, writing to his father, the Assistant-State Treasurer of New South Wales, from "somewhere in ■Turkey," on September 2, says:—"On August 6, tho, day I was wounded, tho colonel made us a- nice litt-lo speech. He said: 'You aro Australians. Take and keep these trenches. That is all. I know you can do it.' And thank God, we did. Tho whistle sounded, and tho boys simply flew over the parapet of our trencho-s to get'at them. As wo charged across about 100 yards of clear ground tho bullets from rifle and luacli-iiio-guns, and shrapnel lire wore like falling rain.' But wo got there."
