ON GALLIPOLI.
THE LUCK OF THE GAME. DEATH OF A BRAVE SAPPER. By Telegraph—Ptobi Association—Copyright. (Reoeived October 7, 9.50 a.m.) SYDNEY, October 6. Lance-Corporal Foster has told a story about Sapper Oarlyon: " One of our officers was sniped by a Turk. Carlyon, went out and brought him in on his back. He was recommended for the Victoria Cross, but two days later he was killed in Ms own dug-out by a fragment of a shell. Ho was a real hero, and everyone in my section looked up to him even more than to our Ho would climb parapets, hand over wounded or do anything else. He was a rare dare-devil; and it just shows you the luck of the game. Oarlyon and fifty others were all in dug-outs in as safe a. position as is possible in tho arena of danger, yet when he took every chanco in the world amongst bullets, shell fire and shrapnel, lie never received a scratch."
