First Charge of Indian Cavalry Sends
German Infantry Back in Mad Flight
(.Copyright, 1914, by Tress Publishing Co )
LONDON, Oct. 26. (Special Cablegram
to New York World and Omaha Hee.)
The following account of the first charge
of the Indian cavalry In the Kuropean
war is given by a British soldier who has
been Invalided home:
"One day the Germans had been press
ing us hard all along the line. Just when
they were about half way toward our
trenches the Indians, who had arrived the
day before and were anxious to get Into
it, were brought up. Fine fellows they
looked as they passed us on their fine
charger, and we broke into rhrers.
"At the word of command they swept
forward, waking only a- sllgllt detour
to get out of our line of fire. Then they
swept into the Germans from the left
like a whirlwind. With a shrill yell they
rode right through the German infantry.
The Germans broke and run for their
lives, pursued by the Indians for abofit
a mile. ,
"When the Indians came back from the
charge they were cheered wildly all along
our Una, but they didn't think much of
what they had done.' 'It ain't s exciting
as pig-sticking,' kald one."
