LETTER FROM TURKEY.
NEW ZEALAND PRISONER.
WANGANUI, October 21. A letter received here by his brother from Sergt. G. McAneny, who is j a prisoner of Avar in Hospital Militaire, Maltepe, Constantinople, and dated August 20th, says: — ' ! "I have had the bad luck to get wounded and captured. Our boys took a trench, got cut up, and the trench was retaken by the Turks. I got wounded by a bomb, which burst in the trench and hit me twice. I suffered awful agony. The wounds, nearly healed, are now O.K. The trench was a shambles, filled to the lop with dead and dying lying three and four deep. I never want to see anything like it any more. I saw the gamest boys in the world go down at ■dawn that morning. We are being- treated well and the wounded are well cared for." The letter came through the Swiss Red Cross.
