GALLANTRY OF OUR MEN.
9 LETTER FROM GENERAL GODLEY. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Wanganui, October 21. General G'odley writes to Colonel Hughes, praising the gallantry of tho troops. He says it is impossible to find in military history anything finer than tho night march of the AVellington Mounted Rifles through desperato scrub-covered country on August 6, the rushing of the Turkish pickets as they went, or tho assault by the Wellington Infantry Battalion on the Chunuk Banheights on the morning of August 8. General Godley adds: —"We are woefully depleted in numbers at present, tihe infantry brigade being only 1200 instead of 4000, and the Mounteds 400 instead of 2000."
