Ed the first appearance on a European battle-ground of New Zealand and Australian troops, and wero secured by a war correspondent; who disposed of tlie rights of: showing them in London. Tlie pictures are splendidly taken, and give the livest realisation of tlio country that witnessed one of the most "lorious feats of arms ever known in history. There are shown in rapid succession the beached steamer Rivef Clyde, the troops _ being taken ashore in great punts, animated scenes on tlia beach at An7,ac and Suvla Bay. Ona graphic snapshot shows General Birdwood and some of his officers snatching a meal in a dug-out, and another actually shows a Turkish attack being repelled. Here are shown the men I lining the trenches in tho lightest- ati, | tire emptying their rifles through. the sand-bags, whilst others refill tho cart* ridge dips at the rear. One great pic-' ture is the shelling of Lone Pine bji | tlie Turkish guns, and others ■ givo viows of a great old carroriade captured at Cape Helles. and the ruined forts at Sedd-ul-Banr- There are also views of the troops _at Imbros and elsewhere.
