“MEN I KILLED”
PENALTY OF COWARDICE. WARTIME INCIDENTS REVEALED. GENERAL CROZIER’S ACTIONS. (United Press Association—Copyright.) (Received This Day, 10.45 a.m.) LONDON, August 8. “The Men I Killed” is the title of a book written by Brigadier-General Crozier, who describes how he himself shot a young British officer who was running away when he had orders to hold the post at all costs. “Panic spread so easily.” He also ordered machine-guns and rifles to be trained on fleeing Portuguese allies. On another occasion he himself shot an infuriated British soldier who was attacking a Frenchwoman daring a retreat. He says that other officers did similarly. One empties his revolver into a group of soldiers who were panicking.
