“The struggle of the Red Knight with Dark Forces”

British War Propaganda Bureau, Dec “ A third form of mutilation, the cutting of one or both hands, is frequently said to have taken place. In some cases, this mutilation may be the consequence of a cavalry charge up a village street, hacking and slashing everything in the way; in others the victim may have held a weapon, or the motive may have been the theft of rings.”
