LETTERS FROM THE FRONT.
Private R. J. Andrew, sou of Mrs R. Andrew, of Foxton, who was wounded in the fighting at the Dardanelles, in a letter dated September 9th, states that he ■is out of the hospital and in camp at Zeitoun. He says he is feeling alright, but does not think he will be able to go back to the trout for a month or two ; in fact, the doctors are doubtful if he will be able to go back to the front again at all. Private Andrew expresses the hope that he will be able to have another go at the Turks with the bayonet, He states that the work in the trenches is not bad, but charging up hill and down dale with fixed bayonets is very strenuous owing to the rough nature of the country. The famous charge on August Bth was a sight never to be forgotten. The writer was greatly impressed with the fighting capabilities of the Gurkhas, who are great favourites with the New Zealanders and Australians.
