It is revealed that a unit composed of Senussi warriors, who fled from Italian rule and for a year trained in Egypt, has been in action against the Germans. The Senussi were ordered to withdraw before the engagement reached a decisive stage, but their British officers said they displayed the utmost coolness and determination and are spoiling for a showdown. The Senussi chanted their war hymn before the engagement and then loosed an accurate fire against an armoured car formation.
