" ARCH ENEMY OF THE DARDANELLES " SIR lAN HAMILTON'S ALLEGATIONS. Pros* Association—By Telegraph—Copyright LONDON, November 12. (Received November 14, at 1.30 a.m.) “ The arch enemy of the Dardanelles was Field MarshafSir Henry 'Wilson,” said Sir lan Hamilton, 'addressing the Naval Division Association. He added; “ Sir Henry Wilson at first approved of attempting to detach the Turks, but when wo were lighting on Gallipoli it was another story. Sir Henry Wilson visited Marshal Foch in July, 1915, giving him the latest news from Gallipoli, adding the remark ‘ trying to ruin us/ though ho held an appointment upon the staff of another commander-in-chief. We had many other enemies. Lord French, formerly signing himself “my devoted friend,” ceased writing once I started for the East. British headquarters in France and Admiral Fisher regarded the expedition as detestable heresy. History has now shown that tho expedition’s enemies were in the wrong.”
