The Governor has / Jeived a call*' from Sir Archibald /■ Murray, Coni-mander-in-Ohief i» Egypt, which, after repeating i\f ' details given in the cables of the/ severe defeat re cently inflicted on the Turks, adds: "During the whole of these operations the brunt of the fighting fell on the Australian and New Zealand 'mounted division. Under General Shauvel this division finely upheld the 'traditions of the Commonwealth and ; Dominion troops. It fought with great steadfastness, gallantry and untiring energy throughout. Its commander and all his men have every right to be proud of their achievement, and have the satisfaction of knowing that for each one of their casualties they accounted for about ten of the enemy. I wish to place en record my warm appreciation of the services of the Commonwealth * and I Dominion troops."
