"NECK OR NOTHING." CRAWLED HALF A MILE. WITH A DISLOCATE-* THIGH. Private W. 11. Dunne, of AuckJanJ. writes from Indian Hospital, Alexandria: —" I suppose you have already heard details of our scrap. It was a. tcr-ri-le experience, and, looking back on it now, it seems more like a horrible dream. Ou'ly three out of my section escaped after one bayonet rush. I fully expected to see our boys driven back into the sea. but thank he#v_n they held the ground. It was just lovely to see the way they went at it, everyone of the same opinion—' neck or nothing.' We had to start shooting as soon as we got out of the -oats, and as we were, up to our armpits in water you .-an imagine the diflici-ties. I had a dreadful time getting out of the firing line after heing wounded, having to crawl about half a mile with a dislocated thigh and concussion of the spine. It was -omething like twenty-four liours before 1 was put on the transport and attended to. The shell that knocked mc over blew my companion topieces.sol consider myself very lucky. We are heing treated very well here and have every < bance of gelling better; so I hope to be able to get back to Turkey with ihe boys very soon. We are very short of nurses, on'v two sisters in this ward: and there arc 04 patients, so they arc kept very busy, -very one. helps as much as possible, and they have a few ■ Indian orderlies to assist.
