In his telegram to the Japanese Minister of War after the capture of
Tsing-tau, Lord Kitchener said: "Please accept my warmest congratulations
on the success of the operations against Tsing-tau. Will you be so kind as
to express my felicitations to the Japanese forces engaged? The British
Army is proud to have been associated with its gallant Japanese comrades
in this enterprise." The British force, under Brigadier-General N.
Barnardiston, Commanding the Forces in North China, landed in Lao-shan Bay
on September 24. Some Indian troops also took part in the fighting. The
Emperor of Japan sent a message to the British force saying that he
"deeply appreciates the brilliant deeds of the British Army and Navy
co-operating with the Japanese."--[Photo. by C.N.]
