$50 British Hold Oasis
Against Six Times Their
Own Number of Turks

london, Sept. 21.-The defense by
the British at the Egyptian desert
post at El-Dueidar during the Turk
ish raid of April 23 deserves to be
chronicled as among the memorable
incidents of the war, according to
Reuters special correspondent at the
general headquarters of the Egyp-
tian Expeditionary force. On that
Sunday $50 British soldiers held a
position far too extended for such a
small garrison, against a force of
Turks and Arabs six times their own
number says the correspondent.
The location of defense is a small
oasis in depression in the sandy
waste about 13 miles east of the Suez
Canal. The British had erected two
redoubts and several small isolated
posts in the vicinity of a grove of
date palms. These defenses were not
completed at the time of the raid
In a mist so thick that the defend--
ers were barely able to discern the
barbed wire fifty feet in advance of
their redoubts, the attack began at s
o'clock in the morning. Rifle fire
beat back the first assault very quick
ly, according to the correspondent,
the Turks retiring to reform.
Capt. Roberts of the Royal Scots
Fusiliers was in command In the
absence of communication trenches,
he was unable, after the mist lifted
at 9 o'clock to send reinforcements,
ammunition and messages to the iso-
lated posts, as the attackers rifle
and machine gun fire swept the in
tervening spaces. One post was held
by eight men, three of whom were
wounded early in the engagement. To
the extreme right, some of the Brit
ish lay out in the open and fought
off enemy attempts to reach the
rear of the defenses.
Returning to the attack, the enemy
brought up a mountain gun and with
it fiercely shelfed the oasis, but, ac-
cording to the correspondent the
aim was wretched and little damage

of the oasis.
The attacking force numbered 120
Turkish camel corps and about $50
Arabs, together with two mountain
guns and 60 artillerymen. The Brit
ish after holding their positions
nal and most desperate attack,
which began at o'clock at night,
this assault consisting of three rush
es. When it had been beaten off, most
of the enemy dead were found with
in fifty yards of the British trench,
one Turk being found within twenty
yards. The defenders had suffered a
great many casualties.
Meanwhile news of the attack had
reached brigade headquarters, seven
miles away, and two companies of in
fantry had been sent to the garrison,
which they reached about o'clock,
after trying march through deep
sand. The officer commanding these
fresh troops had orders to take the
offensive at the first opportunity and
drive off the enemy but found that
the latter was too strong, and further
infantry reinforcements were dis
patched from brigade headquarters.
while two squadrons of Australian
Light Horse hurried up from a place
eighteen miles away.
Before the arrival of these last re-
inforcements, however, the Turks
and Arabs began to fall back, and Il
British counter attack drove off the
rearguard, twelve of the enemy be-
ing captured. The Australian Light
Horse assisted in the full retreat but
were unable to overtake the camels
on which the enemy was mounted.
The Turks and Arabs lost 20 dead,
one wounded and 81 prisoners, accord
ing to the correspondent, who does
not state the British casualties. The
latter included Capt. A. C. A. Brace,
of the Army Service Corps, the only
officers of the original garrison kill
ed, and Lieut.. Crawford, of the Roy
al Scots Fusiliers, wounded. Capt.
Brace met death while trying to res
cue Lieut.. Crawford, who was lying
on the sand, exposed to a deadly
fire.
