TROOPS CHEERFULLY ENDURE HARDSHIPS
LOSS OF CHRISTMAS MAILS,
SYDNEY, 2nd December. Captain Bean (official correspondent with the Australian Forces in the Dardanelles), cabling on 18th November, mentions that a vessel carrying a large portion of the Australian soldiers' Christmas mails has foundered, 168 bags of mails being lost. The weather is chilly, but the troops are exceedingly confident, and cheerfully endure all hardships. "Nevertheless, we must face the fact that winter is here, and that it will be one of severe hardship. The Australian Third Brigade, the first troops to land on Giillipoli, are still in the trenches they have occupied continuously since the landing. It is only now being found possible to relieve part of this brigade."
