DAMAGE TO ENEMY HANGAR AND SHIPPING.
(Eeceived September 28, 10.15 p.m.)
London, September 27.
The War Office reports that recent operations at Gallipoli were mainly confined on both sides to aircraft attacks, artillery bombardments, and some mining. The Turks on occasions used heavy artillery fire on the Suvla and Anzac fronts. This seemed to be a prelude to a general attack, but only an attack in small force followed upon the right and centre at Suvla Bay. The British rifle-fire easily dispersed the enemy. The same thing happened twice subsequently. Enemy aeroplanes more than once attacked the allied aircraft base, and dropped bombs, without doing damage. The allies counterattacked, and their bombs destroyed a hangar and damaged shipping at Burgaz. The Turks, on the night of the 24th, let loose watchdogs against a French patrol- The dogs were all shot.
