G Seventh letter of the Eng- 

 lish and Latin alphabets. 

 It is a soft guttural or 

 throat sound, the corresponding 

 hard letter being k (c). It was 

 a later addition to the Latin 

 alphabet, being a modified form of 

 C, which had hitherto done duty 

 for the sounds of both C and G. 

 In English it has two sounds, the 

 one hard, as in gate, the other soft, 

 mostly before e, i, and y, as in gen- 

 der, ginger, gypsy. In the word gaol 

 also it is pronounced as j. Before 

 n it is mute, as in gnat, reign, or 

 lengthens the preceding vowel as 

 in resign. The combination gh, 

 when initial, corresponds to the 

 first value of g, as in ghost ; when 

 medial, it is mute, as in brought. 

 and sometimes when final, as in 

 bough, though it often has the 

 sound of f as in rough, enough. See 

 Alphabet ; C ; Phonetics. 



G. Fifth note of the major scale 

 of C. It is a perfect fifth above C, 

 and is known as the dominant of 

 the key of C. The treble clef sign 

 was originally a 

 . Q ft -. form of the let-. 



Zealand Army Corps, under Bird- 

 wood, sailed from Mudros, April 24, 

 1915. Reaching the Gallipoli coast 

 early next morning, they began 

 landing on the beach designated Z, 

 afterwards called Anzac, about 2 

 m. N. of Gaba Tepe. The beach is 

 a narrow strip of sand, 1,000 yds. 

 long, with small headlands at 

 either end, and backed by high 

 cliffs forming the seaward termina- 

 tion of Sari Bair (Bahr), a hill, 971 

 ft., dominating the district. Leap- 

 ing from the boats, the Australians 

 of the 3rd Brigade, under Col. 

 Sinclair Maclagan, put the Turks 

 to flight with the bayonet, and 

 advanced in open order up the 

 cliffs. The 1st and 2nd Australian 

 Brigades thereafter disembarked, 



and by 2 p.m. 12,000 men and 

 two batteries of Indian mountain 

 artillery were ashore. 



Confused fighting took place at 

 first, some of the attackers advanc- 

 ing too far inland, but a position 

 was taken up extending from a 

 mile N. of Gaba Teps to the high 

 ground over Fisherman's Hut. 

 The broken ground and thick 

 scrub added to their difficulties. 

 The Turks, who had been strongly 

 reinforced to the extent of 20,000 

 men, struck at this whole line 

 for four hours, but were re- 

 pulsed with great loss by the 

 Anzacs, who now included New 

 Zealanders, and were supported by 

 the fire of the warships. Deter- 

 mined efforts made later by the

Gabardine. Textile fabric made 

 of wool or cotton. Of a somewhat 

 finer texture than serge, it is exten- 

 sively used as a dress material, 

 and also, when waterproofed, for 

 raincoats.
