Peace Army in China
STRIKING FAREWELL TO BRITISH OFFICER INTERNATIONAL FRIENDSHIP By Cable.—Press Association. — Copyright. Reed. 11.7 a.m. SHANGHAI, Tuesday. General Duncan, who has been in command of the Allied foreign forces in Shanghai for 11 months, has sailed for London. His departure was marked by a unique demonstration of international friendship. Guards of honour were provided by the United States Marines, French colonial troops, Portuguese, Italian and Japanese landing forces, detachments of Shanghai volunteers, and the Indian branch of the Municipal Police. General Duncan’s car was preceded and followed'by an escort of armoured cars, police and motor-cyclists through the main streets. He embarked from the foreshore of the International Settlement, amid extraordinary public enthusiasm. The Allied navies dressed ship, and the officer was given a typically Chinese send-off, w-ith a deafening outburst of fire-crackers. Officials at the farewell included representatives of the Nationalist Government, testifying to the cordial relationship established by General Duncan’s “peace army,” as it is now widely known.—A. and N.Z.
