“AUSSIES” AT WAR
EXCITING RECOLLECTIONS OF GENERAL “FINE FIGHTERS, 8UT...” United P. A.—By Telegraph—Copyright Reed. 1 p.m. LONDON, Friday. “Early in the summer of 1916 I was asked to take from 50 to 100 Anzacs for instruction in a Lewis-gun school,” writes Brigadier-General Baker-Carr in “From Chauffeur to Brigadier,” which has just been published. “It was hinted that a refusal would not be misunderstood. Though fine fighters, the Australians w T ere not always the most tractable in back areas. They forcibly released their comrades at Etaples and burned down the guard room. “I told the first Ausaralitn squad that the whole lot would be returned straight away if there was a single complaint made about them. It was the first of many Australian classes and there was not a single complaint.” Brigadier-General Baker-Carr relates that when the Australians visited Paris they dropped from a bridge into the river two military policemen who were demanding a special military pass to cross, which the troopers did not possess.
