greater name for yourselves. Well
done, the Dubs! Your deeds will live in history for time immortal.
Farewell."

Brigadier-General W.B. Marshal, of the 29th Division, writing in
November, 1915, to his friend Mr. James O'Regan, Grand Parade, Cork,
says:--"I am now one of the very few survivors of those who landed
with the 29th Division on April 25th, 1915. Nearly all the rest have
been killed, wounded, or invalided, so that I may count myself very
lucky after eight months of strenuous work, I should be glad of a
change." He adds some very striking passages:--"Though I am an
Englishman, I must say the Irish soldiers have fought magnificently.
They are the cream of the Army. Ireland may well be proud of her sons.
Ireland has done her duty nobly. Irishmen are absolutely indispensable
for our final triumph. If I am spared to return at the end of the war
I shall make my future home in 'Dear Old Ireland,' which has always
had a warm corner in my heart, for in no part of the world have I met
more generous, warm-hearted, or braver people than in the Emerald
Isle." Trooper Brennan, of the Australian Light Horse, writing from
Anzac to his father in Kilkenny, says he received an account of the
Landing of the Dublins and Munsters from men of the Royal Scots; and
goes on to make this comment:--"Somehow, it's a funny thing how nearly
every account of an Irish regiment's prowess comes from a
Scotchman--I remember it was a Highlander who told of the Munsters at
Mons. At any rate, I tried to get some particulars from a few of the
Dublins and Munsters themselves, and I failed miserably. They were all
talking of poor Johnny this and that who got shot, or Paddy
something-or-other, or the bad water, or the failure of the rum issue,
so I came to the conclusion that an Irishman's fighting is somewhat
like his temper or dislikes--no sooner dispensed with than forgotten."

Here, sure enough, is a Scot who was at Gallipoli, and saw the
landing, writing in glowing terms of the Irish in a letter published
in January, 1916, by _The Tablet_, who took it from a Scottish
paper:--

"I am astonished that Glasgow folks--and I have met quite a
number since my return from that 'hell' out there--seem to be
unaware of the extraordinary bravery which was displayed by the
Irish soldiers, especially the Munsters and the Dublins. As you
know, I am not Irish, and have no Irish connections whatever--in
fact, I was rather opposed to the
