I worked at an address for the Bradford Independent College, which I have undertaken to visit next week. Beyond this, and some letter–writing there is nothing. The 'Guardian' reports a very prompt & complete explanation of the stories about angelic warriors who came to the assistance of the British troops on the retreat from Mons. It was a fiction written by a journalist, & mistaken for fact. Horton looks a greater fool than ever.
