A ’special correspondent who visited Gallipoli says: There is still much to remind one of the terrible Jays of the past. ;; The trenches at Lone Pine are intact, even the tunnels’ have not collapsed. Elsewhere the trenches have not greatly deteriorated though overwith weeds. The sunken ships still He round the coast,' though they are breaking up' in the calm and beautiful waters. Recently Indian troop 6 were sent to disinter and bury the remains of their compatriots at’ sea. The correspondent pays tribute to the Australian Corps responsible for the work over the whole of Gallipoli, and which is now constructing permanent cemeteries. Probably ijt will take three years. There is no reason why arrangements should not soon be made tor civilian pilgrimages.
