“YOU FIGHT DISHONORABLY, SIR!”
Reading edition
An Exchange Telegraph special from Berlin says after the French surrender of Longwy the Crown Prince had an interview with the French commander, who handed over his sword.
Contrary to all military customs, the Prince took the sword and broke it, saying: “I must take your sword, for you fought us dishonorably. Your soldiers used dumdums.”
The French commander replied: “This is the first I ever heard of dumdums being used in the French army.”
