Battle of Ctesiphon (1915)
CHAPTER X.
It was I who started the story of the Massacre of the 194th Highlanders. It was I, who, through my trusty friends, put into circulation that hint that France was conducting secret peace negotiations which created so immense a sensation in knowledgeable London circles. It was I, who, having received news that the British had sustained a severe defeat at Ctesiphon, spread news within six hours of my information coming to hand that the British had marched into Baghdad, thereby preparing for a more profound feeling of depression than had the news come without my preliminary planning.
