[431] The successful attacks made by masses of fanatical warriors in colonial wars are carried out under such peculiar conditions that, for our purposes, deductions therefrom are not admissible. The defeat of the two French brigades at Bang-Bo (24th March, 1885), and at Ki-lua (28th March, 1885). Lehaucourt, Les Expéditions de Tonkin. The defeat of the Italians at Adua (1st March. 1896).
