  "Damn fine chap. Thinking of Mr BigMacTrac brings to mind the damned bother in Mesopotamia, with the old 16th Poona Rifles.
  
  I was perusing the Thunderer for the latest odds on the gee gees and an
  article on page seven caught my bloodshot eye. Apparently there's been a bit
  of a to-do in Mesopotamia. I thought you might have missed it what with the
  boat race dominating the news, so here it is brief.
  
  -Mesopotamian Campaign "Frightfully dusty but end in sight"-
  
  Last Tuesday, Lord Huffington-Cholmondley, Colonel in charge of the
  Hampshire Fusiliers (formerly the 18th Hove Irregulars Light Infantry)
  currently stationed in Basra, declared that his riflemen will revert to
  standard red tunic and pith helmet in order to reassure natives of their
  good intent.
  
  Furthermore, the operation code named "Reassert Arabic Justice" or Raj,
  continues to proceed along orderly lines. 'The Mesopotamian tribesmen we
  have captured are especially helpful' the Colonel added, 'I believe they
  rather look forward to their eight hour stints laying out cricket pitches in
  the desert. Good for the morale'. When asked if there had been any
  resistance to the Raj the Colonel replied 'Strange cove, Johnny Tribesman.
  One minute they are jumping about hooting and the next they are trying to
  negotiate deals with British Petroleum. Queer sort really."
  
  -Firm discipline in the ranks and impeccable tailoring, sap tribesmen of
  will to fight-
  
  The Foreign and Colonial Office has denied that it is currently considering
  opening the Western Persian desert for exciting holidays for Gentlemen
  Adventurers, claiming that there is nowhere to have tiffin for at least six
  hundred miles, only "sand and wretched oil".
  
  However, in a blow to the official line, a source close to the Ministry of
  War, stated that there was no sign yet of the "Martini Henry Rifles of
  Limited Destruction" in the possession of wayward tribesmen. Our reporter
  was promptly arrested as a fifth columnist. We have decided not to protest
  his case, as we are fairly sure one of his relatives was Prussian."
