The troops in the River Clyde were protected from rifle and machine gun fire and were in comparative safety. COMMANDER UNWIN'S GALLANTRY. fnt the lichters into nosition in thin work hv Midshinman G.

The bridge to the shore, though now passable, could not be used by the troops, anyone appearing on it being instantly shot down, and the men in River Clyde remained in her till nightfall. At 9.50 jm. Albion sent in launch and pinnace manned by volunteer crews to assist in completing bridge, which did not quite. reach beach these boats, however, could not be got Into position until dark owing to heavy fire. It had already been decided not to continue to disembark on beach, and all other troops intended for this beach were diverted to The position remained unchanged on beach throughout the day, men of war and the maxims mounted in River Clyd'? doing their utmost to keep down the fire directed on the men under partial shelter on the beach.

During this period many heroic deeds, were performed in rescuing wounded nea in the water. During the night of the 25th 2Cth the troops in River Clyde were able to disembark under cover of darkness and obtain some ahclter on the beach and in the village of Seddul Bahr, for possession of which now commenced a most stubborn fight. The fight continued, supported ably by gunfire from H.M.S. Albion, until 1.24 p.m., when our troops had gained a position from which they assaulted hill 141, which dominated the situation. Albion then ceased fire, and the bill, with old fort on top, was most gallantly stormed by the troops, led by Lieutenant Colonel C.

IL H. Doughty Wylie, General Staff, who fell as the position was won. The taking of this hill cleared the enemy from the neighbourhood of the 44 Beach, which could now be used for the disembarcation of the allied armies. The capture of this beach called for display of the utmost gallantry' and perseverance from the officers and men of both services that they success fully accomplished their task bordered on. the miraculous.

LANDING BY THE FRENCH. Landing on the Camber, Seddul Bahr. One naif company Royal Dublin Fusiliers being the Camb dead eround The advance from mbor. however, was only possible on a narrow front, and after several attempts to enter the village of Seddul Bahr this half com Cy had to withdraw after suffering heavy es. Landing at De Totts" mBm Beach.

The 2nd South Wales Borderers (less one company) and a detachment 2nd London Field Company R.E. were landed in boats, convoyed by Cornwallis, and covered by that ship and Lord Nelson. Little opposition was encountered, and the hill was soon in the possession of the South Wales Boaderers. The enemy attacked this position on the evening of the 25th and during the 26th. but our troops were firmly established, and with the assistance of the covering ships all attacks were easily beaten oft Landing at Kum Kale.

Tho landing here was undertaken by the French. It was most important to prevent the enemy occupying positions in this neighbourhood, whence he could bring gun fire to bear on the transports of! Cape Helles. It was also hoped that by holding this position it would be possible to deal effectively with the enemy's guns on th Asiatic shore immediately east of Kum Kale, which could fire into Seddul Bahr and De Totts. The French, after a heavy preliminary bombardment, commenced to land at about 10 a and by the afternoon the whole of their force had been landed at Kum Kale. When they attempted to advance to Yeni Shehr, their immediate objective, they were met by heavy fire from well concealed trenches, and were held up just south of Kum Kale village.

During the night of the 25th 26th the enemy made several counter attacks, all of which were easily driven off; during one of these 400 Turks were captured, their retreat being cut off by the fire from the battleships. On the 26th, when it became apparent that no advance was possible without entailing severe losses and the landing of large reinforcements, the order was given for the French to withdraw and re embark, which operation was carried out without serious opposition, ALLIES' COOPERATION. I now propose to make the following more general remarks on the conduct of the operations From the very first the cooperation between Army and Navy was most happy difficulties which arose were quickly surmounted, and nothing could have succeeded the tactfulness and forethought of Sir Ian Hamilton and his staff. The loval support which I received from Contre Amiral E. P.

A. Guepratte amplified the task of landing the Allied armies simul taTheJS Russian fleet was represented by H.I.R.M.S. Askold, which ship was attached to the French squadron. Contre Amiral Guepratte bears testimony to the value of the support he received from Captain I van off. especially during the landing and ro enibarcu tion of the French troops at Kum Kale.

The detailed organisation of the landing could not be commenced until the Army Headquarters returned from Egypt on the 10th ApriL The work to be done was very great, and the naval personnel and material available small. Inunediately on the arrival of the Army Staff at Mudros, committees, oomposed of officers of both services, commenced to work out the details oi the landing operations, and it was due to these officers' indefatigablo efforts that the expedition was ready to land on the 22nd April The keenness displayed by the torious service. The great traditions of many officers and men who performed gallant This standard was hum. and if I mention one particular action it is that of Com mander Unwm and the tv two seamen who assisted establishing communication between River Clyde and the beach. Roar Admirals R.

E. Wemyss, C.M.G., M.V.O., C. F. Thuraby, C.M.G., and Stuart Nicholson, M.V.O., have rendered invaluable service. Throughout they have been indefatigable in their efforts to further the success of the operations, and their' loyal support has much lightened my duties and responsibilities.
