  • Minister of Defence, Senator George Foster Pearce, relays the following cable fromĀ  Sir Ian Hamilton in the Dardanelles to the House of Representatives:

General Bridges died on the passage to Alexandria. All mourn his irreparable loss. The event of yesterday was a brilliant action by his own troops, who inflicted a loss of 7000 on the enemy at a cost of 500 to themselves. Another Victory
