WITH THE ANZACS IN FRANCE

HOW CAPTAIN TOLL DIED (Special from tho New Zealand War Correspondent.) ' July 9. While further south the great battle of the Somino still rages with varying intensity, the Anzacs in tlieir own sphere aro doing useful work, harrying the enemy with artillery and riflo fire by day and raiding his trendies by night. Though minor operations, these raids aro planned with great care and much thought, leaving nothing to chance. Since my last cable message one of the most successful raids was made by four officers and seventy-seven men of tho Ist New Zealand Infantry Brigade. After a heavy bombardment the raidors reached the Gorman trench, and remained in it for eight minutes. They killed fiftoen Germans and brought back ten prisoners and considerable booty, Our casualties were slight. Captain Jl'Coll, the leader ot the raid, was mortally wounded while gallantly nssisting hi 6 men. He had got safely back to his own trench, but returned to help tho stretcher-bearers in No Afan's Land. Another party from the 2nd Brigade Mere not so successful in their raid. Lieutenant K. Munro was killed with shrapnol before tho bombardment lifted. The portion of trencb. entered contained no Germans.
