Mr. Churchill in Cuba

Snt,—Mr. Wilson Harris's review of Closing the Ring is most interest- ing, but in saying Mr. Churchill saw "active service in three continents," he does him a little lessahan justice, as in addition to Europe, Africa and Asia, Mr. Churchill served in Cuba in 1895 and was awarded The 1st Class (Spanish) Order of Military Merit.—Yours faithfully, ASSHETON POWNALL.
