Then soon after the sudden transformation of seasons, Loh. don had its hoftest June day on record on Sunday, the 22nd.
The maximum temperature recorded in Regent Street was 91 degrees.
Not for nine years has there been such a hot day, and then it was in August, not June.

To give an example of the feats accomplished by Indian troops in the Abyssinian campaign, 56" field guns of one division fired 180,000 rounds during March alone.
It is easy enough to talk to non- havildars commissioned officers, and naiks. Most of them speak English; some speak it excellent- ly.
