He was most happy and comfortable, and I gave him the Holy Communion on Monday morning. I took the funeral at the New Cairo Cemetery on Thursday evening as the sun was setting. His grave is a very nice place beneath shady trees, and he lies beside his brother-soldiers who have given their lives for God and this war. The funeral was, of course, a military one.

The War. Mount Man in Caza. The following interesting letter has been received from Company Quarter- master Sergeant Harry McGregor, 1/5 The AVelsh Regt., one of the Mountain Ash Territorials, brother of Mr. Ted McGregor, describing his experiences in the battle of Gaza :— Just a few lines to let you know I'm still in good health and keepmg above the sod. We are now bivouacked outside Gaza, otherwise Gath, abou; 45 miles from the Holy City. Leaving our bivouacs in a place called Khan Junis at 4 p.m. on Sunday, April 25, we marched until 8, and then lay down till 12 midnight. We again started and marched until 7 in the morning, when we were just entering the "fire zone." Here I said good-bye to Archie (his younger brother) for fear we would not meet again. My company with "C" was "told off" for the firing line with Archie's in. support of mine, and "D in support of "C." AVe came under shrapnel at 8.20 at a distance of 1,800 yards from the position, which xila,, on a high ridge covered with trees, re- doubts, and a big Mosque. Leading up was a long slope, where a rabbit couldn't hide except it dug in, but we had no time for that. Immediately we got shelled we had the order to "change front" left, and this the old Battalion did even steadier than Oil Field Days. We deployed out to open formation, and then the casualties commenced. Shrapnel, machine guns, and rifles were whistling all round, and there was a hell of a din. Our artillery were giying them beans, and we soon got down to about 500 yards. Here we were held up for a bit owing to scarcity of ammuni- tion. and Capt. Beith asked me to go and try and get some up. I didnt like the idea "much, turning my back on fire, and walking back f of a mile, 4 but there was no help for it. So off 1 weut, and bandaged up a few poor devils who were bleeding badly on the way. I got t the Dump, loaded up 3 mules, and brought them up as close as 1 could, and then with ii rush we got in the position, bayonetting and shooting everyone who resisted. I looked round after we had finished attacking, but couldn't see Archie. The enemy still kept up a sort of desultory fire which was causing some casualties, so we formed up a party and made a rush, capturing about 200 prisoners and put- ting a few more ready for their long rest. About midnight they received reinforcements and we were ordered to evacuate the positions and form up out- side for the artillery to pound them a bit. This they did with a vengeance, and we then withdrew to a Wadi, and had some grub and a mess tin of tea after 36 hours hard work. That even- ing we marched another 12 miles, so we had a fair doing. Archie turhed up in the morning "all gay," and said he had had some narrow ones, in fact we all had. I had two in my pack. One hit my pouch another went through my pocket and through a tin filled with Oxo cubes. Another took a piece of skin off my hand, and still another knocked my helmet off. but didn't touch my head. However, we had some bad casualties. Killed and wounded mus- tered over 300, more than half the casualties in the Brigade. The Bri- gadier gave 11s a great eulogy next morning. The old man thinks a lot of theith now. I told you I had been granted a decoration. Well it is the Bronze Medal of the Order of the Crown of Italy, and Bert (C.S.M. Bert Jones, Mountain Ash) and I are the only two in the battalion who have it.

ABERDARE CINEMA. Next Week: "The World's Great Snare." Mr. Clarke's programme at the Cinema is one M immense strength. Pauline Frederick is no ordinarv star, and her work amongst the Eamous Players has been recognized throughout by Press and Public. Clarke's the Alan has been fortunate in securing her on many occasions, but never more so than by his securing "The World's Great Snare," which he screens next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Every one of the five parts throbs, with an intensity obtainable only in these Famous Players' productions. A re- markable feature of Mr. Clarke's con- tracts is that he never has any "flag" days. They are always bang right up- to-date. They never flag, for the in- terest of the spectator is secured from the moment that he enters. For Mon- day, Tuesday, and AVednesday next Clarke's the Alan has secured "How- Like a Alan," starring the beautiful and talented actress, Fabienne Fabri- ques. The story is built on the man who plaved fast and loose with his emo- tions. He loved and lost. Just be- cause he was late. He discarded his lover only to find when his passion re- turned that she had been wooed and wed. This strange but true story is beautifully picturized and will undoubt- edly find great favour amongst the patrons of Clarke's the Man. The usual Saturday matinee for children will be continued.

MEMS FROM THE MOUNT. A soldier just home says that the men who work the Tanks have to wear spurs. It sounds more like a sailor's yarn than a soldier's story. A pro- minent musician of Seymour Street says that it is probably to sprag the caterpillars. r The Chancery Lane Lay Lawyer is never satisfied. He wants to join a band, but is in difficulties about his in- strument. AVhat about the Lyre! The garden robbers have already put in an appearance at the allotments, j There are 4-legged and 2-legged thieves, The former kind make an excellent dish and the latter will get excellently dished. Two of our local gardeners tell me that the natural fertiliser, the earth- worm, is very scarce this year, owing, as they say, to the hard frost. The early bird looks like being rationed as well as the human family. Despite the submarine menace our postal arrangements are wonderfully good. I have just received a letter from Gaza, where that terrible battle 1 was fought, dated April 9th. Twenty- two days. from Palestine. Since the war commenced I have received letters from India, China. New Zealand, A us- tralia, Canada, United States and Aliskin.

A pretty chorus, tuneful music, and splen- did specialities combine to make a real- ly popular entertainment. Next week Mrs Frank Bateman, the talented London actress, comes along with a re- pertoire of dramas of a distinctly liigh- ciass. The company includes well- known actress and actresses. The fol- lowing are the specinl plays, "The Light that leads me home," on Alon- day, Tuesday and Saturday. On Wed- nesday and Thursday, "Somebody Knows—Somebody Cares." and on Friday evening a special night, Sapho, the rage of Paris. On Satur- day Mr. Vereker is commencing matinee performances for children.
