It was in the evening of December

remanonts of his army marched into
lint after disastrous actions against
overwhelming odds of natives. Turks
and German artillery. The enemy
cloéed in around the war weary Bri-

visions for two months. and assur-
ance from General Nixon at Basra
and the home office that he would be
relieved. He decided it best to hold

distinction in the Sender: and the

honors: .He was a Knight Com-
