GRAVES ON GALLIPOLI.
NO HOSTELS FOR PILGRIMS. London, Dec. 23. Uncertainty still exists regarding the possibility of the relatives of Australians and New Zealanders visiting Gallipoli before the autumn owing to the complete absence of hostels. The question of their erection has been vigorously taken up by Mrs. Doughty Wyllie, widow of the Victoria Crdss winner, who is buried on Gallipoli. She is negotiating with the Y.M.C.A. to secure the erection of hostels forthwith. She hopes they will be ready by Anzac Day, but. this is doubtful. Members of the Australian Graves staff who have returned from Gallipoli state that the road from Chanak towards Anzac has been completed. There is also a proposition for a permanent concrete landing stage enabling direct debarkations at Anzac Cove, but only bridlepaths can be constructed toward most of the cemeteries, including Lone Pine, Shrapnel Valley, Plugge’s Plateau, Brown’s Dip. The brigandage which was prevalent last spring has entirely ceased, and the gravesmen no longer require machine guns and other arms.
