land brigade of Lord Methuen's cossI
as related by j. B. Whigham, The ID
correspondent of the London Post, Id n

the Kipling book will see wherein the NJ
ilarity lies. The frantic efforts 81 n

British with their knives, the latter Va

( who had been unable to get away ~ \
as the soldiers, were left out on the %
over which, after fortifying themsaa
with copious draughts Of canteen ~
the two lads marched out, one playing
fife and the other the drum, to rnse' y
death, But, you will remember, The ~
ment gained new courage from The s'q
of tho sacrifice made by the boys and I
ter realizing the terrible mistake Y
made, its men were reformed and. as;s,
