MARSHLA BIRDWOOD
ENDING HIS INDIAN COMMAND
(United. Press Association.—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.)
LONDON, Nov: 26,
“The Times” correspondent at Delhi states: The C'ommander-in-Cbief, Marshal Birdwood, left Karnpur to-day, embarking on the. last stage of a remarkable tour of inspection. He began at the North-west Frontier, and covered Central and Southern India. Ho is now going to Andamans, thence to Calcutta, and back to Delhi. A feature of the tour has been personal interviews lie lias had with Indian soldiers of all raulcs, who are grieved at losing their beloved chief. His example and his faculty for remembering his humblest comrades in Lnany campaigns, has captured the imagination of the troops more than any leader has clone .since their own frontier chief, Lord Roberts.”
