THE LANDING AT GALLIPOLI
WHO WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR FAILURE? lUnited Press Association. —By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.! (Received 10 a.m.) ' ■r SYDNEY, July 12. A message from Melbourne states that, in commenting upon Major-Gen-eral Rosenthal’s lecture, General Sir Talbot Hobbs, who was commander of the First Australian Division, said he disagreed that the Gallipoli failure was Australia’s responsibility. “To say that the absence of the four guns Major-General Rosenthal mentioned was the cause of failure at the landing, to my mind, is absurd. I think that if Major-General Rosenthal inspected the ground from Cape Ellis to Suvla Bay he would realise that there were many more ridges beyond gun reach, and that the whole area was a vast natural fortress, garrisoned i by brave and resolute soldiers, led by efficient generals, who knew the ground, and were experts in defence. Australia did her best, and all she was able ta do.”
