Friday, August 6, 1915. Attack of the Dead Men.

Border raiders attacked Sebastian, Texas, killing former lawman A. L. Austin and his son Charles.  He was likely specifically targeted by the raiders due to his history of himself targeting Mexican-Americans during his days as a lawman.

Vladimir Karpovich Kotlinsky (Влади́мир Ка́рпович Котли́нский), the Lieutenant in charge of the Russian attack.

German troops launched a chlorine gas bombardment on the Russian garrison of Osowiec Fortress.  Russians traumatized by gas launched a heroic successful counterattack, called the Attack of the Dead men due to their appearance.

The British landed reinforcements at Suvla as part of a new offensive at Gallipoli.  The British launched a diversionary attack at Krithia Vineyard as part of this.  Australians attacked Lone Pine, ANZACs at Sari Bair.
