CORRESPONDENCE

The Singapore Mutiny

To The Editor,

Hongkong Telograph.)

errora

Sir-The article from a corres- pondent on the Singapore Mutiny which broke out on February 16, 1915, published by you yesterday, is mainly accurate, but there are

or two unfortunate which require correction. As one of the armed civilians who took part in the operations, with still vivid memorica of the affair, I can speak with authority and without needing to quote references. The two most noticeablo mistakes made by the correspondent are the following:

There is reference to "women and children" being killed by the mutineers. It is only right to has- ten to state that those Indian sol- diers, bravo men who were misled on the score of their religion- and who I witnessed face doath unflinchingly afterwards-definite- ly refrained from harming a

The one and only woman killed, Mrs. Woolcombe, was accidentally shot, when she very bravely threw her- adf in front of her husband an assassins fired their rifles. Brave woman!

the

The other glaring error is the reference to the King's Shropshire Light Infantry, a territorial batta- lion which was rushed to Singapore from Burma-obviously not from Bangkok, as stated by the corros- pondent.

The other mis-statements are of д minor nature, and excusable after this lapse of time, though it might be added that only a portion of the Indian battalion mutinied.

Sir, respectfully write to cor- rect one or two discrepancies which have crept into the otherwise accurate account of the happenings In Singe- pore at the time of the Mutiny of the Fifth Indian Light Infantry.
