BRITON PRAISES GERMANS.
Reading edition
The Hon. Aubrey Herbert, M. P. for South Somerset, a lieutenant in the Irish Guards, describing his experience in North France, says:
"I was shot and was found by some German privates after about an hour and a half.
"With other wounded men and officers I was taken away to a house that had been converted into a temporary hospital after nightfall. We remained prisoners in the hands of the Germans for eleven days, until the French occupied the village where we lay and set us at liberty.
"It is only fair to say that both on the battlefield and subsequently we were all shown courtesy and great kindness by the Germans, from all ranks, from Prussians and Bavarians alike."
He adds that from the general behavior of the British troops "one might have supposed that they were engaged in autumn manœuvres."
