“ The late Colonel Malone (well known in Taranaki) attacked Chunuk Bahr with 775 men, and when he was relieved on that Sunday evening there were only 63 left,” said Colonel Meldrum at New Plymouth recently. “Of ail the units that went into action that day the Wellington, under Colonel Malone, was the only one which succeeded in gaining its objective and holding it throughout the day. Colonel Malone lost his life, but the feat put up by him and his men was one of the finest things done by New Zealand or any other soldier during the whole of the war.”
