(By Edmund Gambler }


The last fighting before Baghdad Is
likely to become historic on account
OF the splendid gallantry of our
troops in the crossing OF the Diala
river After the action at Lajj the
Turkish rearguard fell back on Diala,
destroying the bridge which crosses
the stream at its junction with the
Tigris We pushed on In pursuit on
the left bank, sending cavalry and
two columns of infantry to work
round on the right bank. and to en-
ter Baghdad from the west Speed
in following up was essential, and the
column attacking Diala was faced
with another crossing in which the
element OF surprise was eliminated.
The village lies on both banks Of the
stream, which is 100 yards wide. The
houses trees, nullah. and walled gar
dens made 1t impossible to build
road and ramps quickly and to bring
up pontoons without betraying the
point of embarkation. Hence the old
bridgehead site was chosen. The at
tack on the night of the 7th was
checked, but the quality of courage
shown by our men has never been
surpassed in war. Immediately the
first pontoon was lowered over the
ramp the whole launching party was
shot down in a few seconds. 1t was
a bright moonlight, and the Turks
had concentrated their machine guns
and rifles In the houses on the op-
posite bank
The second pontoon had got into
the middle of the stream, when a
terrific fusilIade was opened on It
The crew of five rowers and ten rifle
men were killed and the boat floated
down the stream. A third got near
ly across. but was bombed and sank.
All the crew were killed. But there
was no holding back The orders
still held to secure the passage.
Crew after crew pushed off to an
obvious and certain death. The
fourth crossing party was eXtermi-
mated in the same way and the pom
toons drIfted out to the Tigris to float
past our camp In the daylight with
their freight of dead. The drafts
who went over were raised by vol :,
unteers from other battalions in the
brigade. These and the sappers on
the bank share the honor of the night
with the attacking battalion. Moth
ing stopped them, save the loss of
the pontoons. A Lancashire man re-
marked: 1T is bit hot here. but
let's try It higher up" but the gal
liant fellows were reduced to their last
boat. Another regiment, which was
to cross higher up. were delayed. rs
the boats had to be carried nearly
mile across country to the stream.
After the failure of the bridgehead
mas tho sacopd crossing was can
celled. but the men were still game.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1917-09-21

On the second night the attempt
was pursued with equal gallantry.
This time the attack was preceded by
bombardment Registering by ar
tillery had been impossible on the
first day in the speed of the pursuit
1t was the barrage that secured US the
footing--not the shells, but the dust
raised by them. This was so thick
that you could not see your hand in
front of your face. 1t formed a cur
tain behind which ten boats were
able to cross. Afterwards in clear
moonlight, when the curtain Of dust
had lifted, the conditions of the
night before were re-established. Sue
ceeding crossing parties were exter-
minated. and pontoons drifted away,
but footing was secured. The dust
served us well. The crew of one
boat which lost it's way during the
barrage were untouched. but they did
not make the bank in time. Direct
ly the air cleared machine gun was
opened on them and the rowers were
shot down and the pontoons drifted
back ashore. A sergeant called to
volunteers to get the wounded out of
the boat and a party of twelve men
went over the river bank. Every
man of them, as well as the crew of
the pontoons, were killed.
Some 60 men had got over and
these Joined up and started bombing
along tho bank They were soon
heavily pressed by the Turks on both
fIanks and found themselves between
two woods.
Here they discovered a provtdeu-
tiaI natural position. A break in the
river bend had been repaired by
new bund built in half-moOn on tho
landward side. This formed a per-
feet Iunette. The Lancashire men,
on all sides but the river,
held It through the night all the next
day and the next night against re-
peated and determined attacks. Those
attacks were delivered in the dark
or at dawn The Turks only attacked
once in the daylight, as our machine
guns on the other bank swept the
ground in front OF the position.
Twenty yards west OF the lunette
there was a thin grove of mulherrieS
and palms The pontoon was most
on this side. and 1t was
here that the Turkish counter-attacks
were most frequent. our intense In
