1T may be Of interest to know that
the use OF the Pomeroy bullet did no.
stop with the war, for it has been ef-
fectively used to destroy the mines
with which the Germans strewed the
coast Of England.
Tt was also the means of putting an
end to the use Of poisoned bullets by
the enemy, as Lloyd George served no.

that any further violation of this sort
would be met by arrning the British
infantry with the Pomeroy bullet and
the Huns knew to their bitter cost that
such action would mean humiliation.
