thanking him for the Kindness which he had
shown to them.
Continuing the major said that. I'm 1SS2, he
was with the British forces in Egypt. where
Arabs captured pickets of Bengal cavalry, de-
capftated the prisoners and placed their neaos
on poles Afterward. all the Arabs VINO were
caught were shot without trial.
In the campaign in China the Chinese mu-
tilated the dead and tortured the Wounueu W
