136 THE SIEGE OF PORT ARTHUR
on their duties, and reprimanded for their dis-
graceful conduct.
After a while the regiment went back to the
front again ;
of course, all the troops knew of
what had happened, and I expect they had a bad
time of it. As a matter of fact, when later a
division was ordered up to reinforce the troops at
Liaoyang, their colonel applied for his regiment
to form part of this force, and his application
was granted. Whether the regiment has re-
vindicated its honour, and retrieved its prestige
on another theatre of operations, I do not know.
I hasten to add that the officers of the regiment
had no share in this deplorable affair, and that no
blame can be attached to them.
I should hardly have mentioned the incident
at all, if it had not been for a certain aspect of
the affair to which I attach the greatest impor-
tance, and which leads to another story ;
but to
that I shall return in a subsequent chapter.
