The Uhlan prisoners created some amusement as they were being marched
along, for, as they are not used to marching, and were wearing great
jack-boots, it nearly kills them, but they were pushed along by the
infantry. While the Uhlans were thus being urged along the Frenchwomen
tried to get at them and shouted to the soldiers to cut their throats.
Fortunately for the prisoners, they were strongly guarded: _A Gunner of
the Royal Field Artillery_.
