WORK OF THE 4TH SOUTH WALES BORDERERS. I Private Wm. Roberts, of Penrhiwceiber, is among the wounded members of the 4th Battalion South Wales Borderers who have reached Cardiff from th6 Dardanelles. I Roberts acted as a bomb-thrower, and describing his experiences be said that although his battalion landed on July 25th, they did not get into action until August 10th, when they took a line of trenches and a gully which had now become known as the "South Wales Borderers' Gully." They, unfortunately, lost their gallant command- ing officer, Colonel Gillespie, in the first charge they made. He assisted to carry the colonel out of the firing zone. Lieu- tenant Cooper, of Abergavenny, and Lieu- tenant Miller, two other brave officers, were lost the same day. The battalion lost pretty heavy on August 10th. They were half dressed and preparing tea for themselves in the morning when they were attacked by the Turksf and had a desperate fight. "Give them their due," added Roberts," the Turks are good fighters, and much cleaner fighters than the Germans, but they are afiod of cold$teel." ^Acting-Sergeant GUJard, of the 4th South Wlfes Borderers, wro hails from Newport, ig suffering from a bullet wound in the left arm. When he left the Brecon Barracks he was only a lance-corporal, but was pro- moted on the battlefield..Sergeant Gillard, who was employed with Me bombing party, landed \yith the first ^tch of his divi- sion, and mey escaped shelling altogether. The reasQj^U1 this immunity from fire Was that th§^Wance force had pushed the Turks Sack. He did not take part in any actual engagement until August 10th. He was acting with a party of bomb-throwers, and was advancing up to the attack when a shell struck him in the right arm. Ser- geant Gillard spoke well of the fighting spirit which animated the Borderers, whose motto was Never retreat or surrender."
