LORD KITCHENER
Sir.-Are the incidents related in Their Finest Hour, broadcast from ZB stations, supposed to be true to fact? While listening with interest to the story of Lord Kitchener, I detected two glaring anachronisms. First, Kitchener was supposed to be congratulated by Queen Victoria at the end of the South African War. That war ended in 1902. Queen Victoria died in January, 1901. Secondly, it was said that Kitchener was going to Russia after the First World War was won. Is it not a fact that he was drowned in 1916, two and a half years before the armistice? When well-known incidents like these are distorted, how are we to know which parts of the stories are fact. and which
are fiction?
