THE NICHOLSON NEK DISASTER.
In connection with the Nicholson Nek disaster, some of the Home papers state that all the officers will be brought before a court-martial when the war is over, but this will not necessarily be the case. A court of inquiry will be assembled by the general officer commanding in South Africa at the conclusion of the war, at which the circumstances attending their surrender will be investigated. This court will record an opinion as to whether the capture of the officers was due to their misconduct, and the proceedings will be forwarded to the War Office. W hen any misconduct ib found proved by the court of inquiry the officer or officers implicated will be brought to trial, but only in this case.
