INDIANS' MARCH THROUGH THE FIRE ZONE
BATTALION'S SPLENDID STEADINESS London, May 5. "Eye-Witness" recounts a recent instance of Indian steadiness in battle. A shell burst in the middle of a battalion of Pathans, killing and wounding sixteen. The columns . immediately closed up and marched on, and the battalion advanced across twelve hundred yards of open country under a murderous fire, their war-cry swelling louder and louder 'above the din. One of their British officers was hit four times, but continued to .lead his men until he fell riddled with machinegun bullets.
