Fix this textWHAT IS AN "' ANZAC? "
Fix this textA correspondent (8.P.) writes: "Of what nationality
Fix this textis a man who states he was born in France, who
Fix this textspeaks with a Cockney accent, but asserts that he
Fix this textis an Australian. Is he really an Anzac ? "
Fix this textThat depends upon whether such a thing as
Fix this text"an Anzac " exists and, if so, what it is.
Fix this textFor a learned and complete explanation of the
Fix this textsubject we may refer our readers to the ' 4 Daily
Fix this textMail" of December 26, which states ;
Fix this text4 4 The word 4 Anzac' is popularly supposed to
Fix this textbe a kind of acrostic composed of the initial letters
Fix this textof the principal words in the military designation
Fix this textof the Australasian forces when operating at the
Fix this textDardanelles ? 4 Australian and New Zealand Army
Fix this textCorps'. It would appear, however, from inquiries
Fix this textmade by the Australian Commonwealth Depart-
Fix this textment in London that the word is Arabic, and that
Fix this textits attribution to the above-mentioned source is
Fix this textmerely coincidence or the result of association of
Fix this textideas. It is said that the nearest approach to the
Fix this textcorrect spelling of the word in English would be
Fix this text4 Anzak 1 ; and that, as it means 4 to cause to
Fix this textjump," it may have been suggested by the nick-
Fix this textname 4 kangaroos,' sometimes applied to the
Fix this textAustralian troops when first quartered in Egypt."
Fix this textIn view of this authority the ? previous learned
Fix this textcommentator who connected the Australasians
Fix this textwith the Son of Anak is now discredited amongst
Fix this textEgyptologists.
Fix this textFROM THE "RISING SUN" OF 62 YEARS AGO
Fix this textIt is a pity that Tennyson did not have available
Fix this textthe following realistic account which was turned up
Fix this textby our office boy yesterday in searching the old files
Fix this textof "The Rising Sun," 1854.
Fix this text"BRITISH OFFICIAL.
Fix this textThe following telegraphic despatch has been re-
Fix this textceived from General Headquarters in the Crimean
Fix this textPeninsula :
Fix this textOCTOBER 25.?This afternoon a small body of
Fix this textour cavalry successfully raided some enemy gun
Fix this textpositions in the Balaclava area. In spite of the
Fix this textarduous nature of the task set them, and of the
Fix this textenemy's artillery barrage, our men gallantly con-
Fix this texttinued to progress. The enemy position was pene-
Fix this texttrated, and at some points hand to hand fighting
Fix this textensued. Our cavalry subsequently retired enabling
Fix this textus to make a tactical readjustment of our line to. a
Fix this textposition previously decided upon. Our losses in
Fix this textthis successful little affair were not out of propor-
Fix this texttion to its difficulty. Those inflicted upon the
Fix this textenemy are believed to have been far greater."
Fix this textTHE EPIDEMIC OF AUGUST 1915
Fix this textThe A.I).M.S. was puzzled ?the D.D.M.S. was
Fix this textquite nervous. I believe there is a sheaf of reports
Fix this textconcerning that epidemic somewhere in the old
Fix this textfiles still.
Fix this textIt's easy and takes two shakes of a lamb's tail!
