A Gallipoli Armistice.
SIR A. GODLEY’S STORY. An incident ut Gallipoli was related by General Sir Alexander Godley- at the ex-servicemen’s reception to him on Monday night. With the Australians, he said, was a certain General Ryan, who was known to everyone as “Turkish Charlie,” because he had fought with the Turks against the Russians many years before at the siege of Plevna. When a day’s armistice was arranged General Ryan and his (General Godley’s) intelligence officer, Colonel Herbert, who had lived long in Turkey, went over into the enemy’s lines and spent the whole day talking Turkish and having the time of their lives. When Colonel Herbert came back he found a party of Turkish officers who were doubtful about how they should return. He accordingly made them fall in and marched them back to their own lines. ; ■ .
