Now, it was our turn. The warships and the New Zealand and Austrilian ar tillery, an Indian Mountain artillery bri- gade and the Bixty-ninth brigade .bval Field artillery, were getting the chance of a lifetime. As successive solld lines of Turks topped the crest of the ridge, gaps were torn through their formation and an iron rain fell on them as they tried to reform in the gullies. “Not here only did the Turks pay dearly for their recapture of the vital crest. Enemy reinforcements continued to move up under a heavy and accurate fire from guns. Still they kept topping the | ridges and pouring down the western | slopes of Chunnuk Bair, as it determined to gain everything they had lost. But once they were over the crest they be- came exposed mot only to the full blast of the guns, naval and military, but a battery of ten New Zealand machine | guns, which played upon their serried ranks at close range until their barrels | were red hot.

There was no flinching; they dled in the ranks where they stood. Here Generals Cayley, Baldwin and Cooper and all their gallant men achieved great glory. On this bioody fleld fell Brigidier General Baldwin, who earned his first laurels on caesar's camp badly wounded. No Live Turk Left, ‘“foward this supreme struggle the ab- solute last two battalions from the gen- eral reserve were now hurried, but by 10 o'cloek in the morning the effort of the enemy was spent. Soon their shat- tered remnants began to trickle back leaving a track of corpses behind them. By night, except for prisoners or wounded, no live Turk was left upon our side of the slope.” Two lesser attacks were made by the Turks the same day. General Hamilton continues: “By evening the total casualties of | General Birdwood's force had reached 12,000 and included a very large propor- | tion of officers. The Thirteenth division of the new army under Major General Shaw had alone lost 6,000 out of a grand total of 10,500. Brigidier General Baldwin was gone and all his staff men and commanding officers, thirteen, had dis- appeared from the fighting effectives, The Warwicks and Worcesters had lost literally every single officer. “The old German notion that no unit could stand the loss of more than twenty-five per cent has been completely falsified. The thirteenth division and the Twenty-ninth brigades of the Tenth Irish division had lost more than twice that, and in spirit were game for as much more fighting as might be re- quired.
