GENERAL MAUDE.
LAST MAN ON GALLIPOLI.
Of (k'lioral Maude, whose fame as a soldiers reals upon the victorious march upon Kut, some interesting, memories are set out in a volume of recollections which has just been published. His career nearly ended at Gallipoli. During the evacuation he was with the last party. The lighter on which he had embarked ran ashore, and while looking for another he got caught in the barbed wire. He is said to have been the last man to leave the peninsula. The story goes that he eventually turned up dragging his kit bag, which was full of trophies, and the local poet thus commemorated the incident: —
Come into the lighter, Maude, Tor the fuse has long been lit, Come into the lighter, Maude, And never mind your kit.
