EDITOR

To the Editor,

Hongicong Telegraph:

Sir-Reports have been publish- of Hongkong; ed in the press

result 115 a to the effect that

by suffered of tic casualties the Royal Ulster Rides In Shang- hal on Friday, October 39, the men of the battalkin had given expression 10 so hostile an attitude towards the Japanese that the question of remov- ing the Battalion from that part of the perimeter defence continguous to the Japanese forcen had been con- aidered by the Military Authorities.

His Exceliency, the General Officer Commanding, has directed me to in- form you that the reports are entirely without foundation and furthermore, that similar reports have not appear- ed d in the Shanghai Press. The Royal Ulster Rifles were relieved in their sector of defence in accordance with a previously arranged programme of reliefs and no change was made on account of the shelling which caused the casualties referred to above,

The British Troops in Shanghai are performing their dificult task with complete impartially and no provocation will make them depart from the proper performance of this duty.

His Excellency, The General Omeer Commanding, will be grateful if you

publish this letter.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,
