An interesting little episode on Monday was the presentation, by

Lord Allenby, of £1,000 to an Egyptian policeman who, though unarmed, pursued the Sirdar's assassins and was wounded by them. King Fuad has also decorated the policeman. This man, according to the Times correspondent, is a simple fellow from Upper Egypt who has not been long in the service.
