"NOT UN HIS DEFENCE, ** General Townshend, referring to the Mesopotamia campaign, observed that he was not on his defence. Operations in War were so dependent v nocidental direnmstances that no general should ever be condenmed unless it could be proved that he had violated one of the great principles of war. If you can prove that," added the speaker, you should out him at once. In any case I should be very curious to know if I violated any of the six great principles of war that were laid down by Napoleon." Having onumerated these, he said he would be pleased if anybody could find where he had failed in then,

But that is the game to play, and when I saw I was being sent on what I considered, an absolutely wrong thing. I pointed out to my saperior officer that unless I was given 10,000 men I could not succeed. I had only 5,000 bayonets, and I wanted to be guaranteed 40,000 men to hold Bagh- dad. ("Shane.")
