RANI OF MANS!

SIR,—While it will hardly be of value as material, it may interest Mr. Tahmankar (Spectator, June 7) to learn that the Rani of Jhansi was cut down by a trooper of the VIII K.R.I. Hussars, and that a rather gruesome depiction of this act hangs in the Officers' Mess of that regiment.—Yours faithfully,
