WAR-WORN NEW ZEALANDERS.
DIE OF DISEASE. (Received Wednesday, 7.5 p.m.) [Aust. and N.Z. Cable Association.] LONDON, Dec. 31. A delayed telegram, via America, from Constantinople, states that the British Brigades landed at Gallipoli on the 13th December. There was no display, the Turkish officers quietly surrendering. Later the French occupied the south bank. The sudden change of climate caused sickness among the New Zealanders, recurrent malaria and influenza causing a few deaths. The cemeteries and graves are overgrown, and all crosses and identification marks have been removed. There has been some violations, but all areas can be enclosed with a monument giving all the names. The general defences have been enormously strengthened since the evacuation.
