"J'ai l'honneur d'être avec l'assurance de ma plus haute considération. "Commandant en chef de la 5me Armée Ottomane. "Commandant en chef des Forces Britanniques, Sir John Hamilton, Excellence." 23rd May, 1915. H.M.T. "Arcadian." Blazing hot. Wrote all day. Had an hour and a half's talk with de Robeck high politics as well as our own rather anxious affairs.
A save-face document, no doubt: the wounded are all Turks as our men did not leave their trenches on the 19th; the dead, also, I am glad to say, almost entirely Turks; but anyway, one need not be too punctilious where it is a matter of giving decent burial to so many men. GRAND QUARTIER GÉNÉRAL DE LA 5me ARMÉE OTTOMANE. le 22 mai 1915.
