Subject: RE: BS: Armistice Day (debate)
One can go on about German or Belgian atrocities in Africa etc but we weren't exactly lily-white handed ourselves. Not even going into how many countless native Africans will have died at the hands of British troops there is the episode with 26000 Boers, mainly women and children, dying in British concentration camps. Then there was the camps for black prisoners which were even more numerous than those for the Boers. How many died in them? Glass houses and all that
