A TALE OF TWO BULLETS.
One of the most interesting incidents of the inspection made recently by General Smuts of the South African Hospital at Richmond, England, was the visit the General paid to one of the patients, a Dutch soldier, who was wounded by a British bullet at Colenso. The man is suffering from the shattering effects of a German explosive bullet. The X-ray examination revealed the presence of a British bullet that had been in the patient’s body for long years, and had caused no inconvenience. This had been received while lighting against us. Like so many of his compatriots, the man had taken up arms in the defence of (he Empire, but has found to his cost the difference between the methods of British lighting and the barbarous customs of the Germans. He was much encouraged by the kindly remarks addressed to him by General Smits.
