THE DEATHLESS ARMY
A VISIT TO GALLIPOLI. LONDON", September 14. Dr Clifford Ellingworth, the young Australian superintendent of the West London Hospital, and his wife, have arrived at Geneva, on their way to London, after their honeymoon trip with the Gallipoli pilgrims. Dr Ellingworth said the most memoable moment was when he saw the graves of hundreds of his colleagues who were killed trying to pain the summit at Sari Ibibr. He scrambled into the dug-outs, and even found old preserved food tins. He had never realised how near they must have been to capturing the position. A magnificent sight was the Lone Pine memotial, on which the lighthouse rays flash all night. Mr and Mrs Irvine, who lost their only son at Gallipoli, were the only other Australians in the party. They visited Constantinople and saw the graves of Australians beside the British who had died iu the Crimean campaign.
