WELSH BAYONET CHARGES.

To the Editor, Amman Valley Chronicle.

Sir,— you may like to have the following extract from one of my husband's letters, as no doubt it will please people who have relatives serving in the 4 th Welsh in the Dardanelles : —

“The Welsh from Ammanford and Llandilo have greatly distinguished themselves out here; one could hear all the other regiments shouting our, ‘Stick it Welsh.'

In a dozen bayonet charges that they made out here they swept everything before them.

They have done better than any other Territorials out here, even officers of other regiments, when compelled to retire, shouting to the Welsh to ‘Stick it'; a trenchful of the Welsh keeping back thousands of Turks.

They are about due to return from the trenches for a rest, as they generally stay there a fortnight and then rest a week, so expect to see some of them then.

We have a nice healthy camp about a mile from the sea, where our Navy is firing day and night with the big guns. There are no houses of any description near us, so we are getting a bit tired of the scenery.

Of course, we have millions of flies to keep us company during the day.” — I am, &c.,

(Mrs.) W. E. MORGAN.

Tanybryn, Tycroes.
