! A remarkable bayonet charge is do* scribed in a letter from Corporal G. Urice, who is now in Kgypt organising a system tor [lie re-direction of wounded soldiers' letters, after having bee.n wounded ai (iallipoli. "Mind you," he says, ''it wants nerve when you have | to get up with a hail of lead pouring at you the minute you show your head above I the trench. We charge 'with fixed bayonets, but you cannot realise what "ft bayonet light is. We jumped clean over the first line of Turkish trenches, over the second line, and into the third—as the third was our objective. The Turks were gibbering in their own language, but we could not understand thorn, and fought to a finish those who showed fight and ,eould not get away. The beggar* are fanatics, but f gave one who could speak ICnglish credit for being a sport. When we captured the third Turks were still in the first one. The three trenches were connected by it runnel underground. Well, I fired n shot in the tunnel, and I heard a souffle. I said, Tome on, boys; here goes!' 7 went right through with my men (sixteen only!, and one big Turk was waiting wiiii bayonet fixed at the other end. He actually let me get right through and 0:1 guard. He then thrant. I parried and caught his thrust on my bayonet, i then thrust and struck him clean through the ciiest near the shoulder. Wei!, the only thing the poor deVil said was. 'Well done, Australia.' He died shortly after. The wound was ay(. ful. We captured :m Turks, who threw up their hands." GOOD FOR ALL.
