AT THE FRONT
LETTER FROM GENERAL GODLEY. "I. have received excellent reports of. tho work of Brigadier-General Chayton' and tho New Zealand Mounted Brigade in. Egypt from General ," says General Godley, in a letter to the Minister o£ Defence (Sir James Allen). "I have just come back from tho Sommc, whore I went to see Bapaume and the country beyond it, and to inspect tho New Zealandi Stationary Hospital, which I had never' yet been able to visit. The latter hast ostended lately into three houses, one oC which is an officers' hospital. It seenia to. me to be run extremely well, and the officers, some of whom I knew, seemed to ho comfortable, and expressed satisfaction, with' their treatment.
"It was most ..interesting to see the country' between Albert and Bapaume. You cannot imagine What a picture ofi the abomination, of desolation it is. Nothing as far as the eye can Teach but a waste of shell craters, ono touching the other, and the whole country biom* and* treeless, with no habitation in sight. One can just mate out from what is left of briok and. timbers where the villages of Pozieres and Le Sars once stood, and that is all."
