number of shells into the ravine. which

with lonely graves marking the last
resting place of some soldier who was
buried where he fell.
Turkish Positions Filthy.
Despite the tragedies staged here

THE mile Of gully most recently
added to the British positions is still

positions. which are invariably iil-kept

campaign without some great epidemic
