BRAVEST OF THE BRAVE.
WADED THROUGH THE FOE
DIED SMOKING A CIGARETTE
London, August 10. A message from New York states that an American correspondent whei has returned from Berlin quotes a German captain jas saying:—jp "The bravest man 1 ever saw was an Australian. It was in. the street lighting in France. He was a big fellow, and was literally wading through our company. I swear 1 thought he would kill the lot of us. He used up all his ammunition, smashed his rifle, and then he picked up an iron bar. AVhou all was quiet. I. went out to examine the wounded, and found the Anzac clean plugged through, but still game. When I asked him 'Can I. do anything for you?' he half sat up, dug his hand into his trousers pocket, produced a cigarette, and said, 'Thanks! Much obliged for a light.' "
