Silver Tongs 1 - Boer POW

"War Letters" of the Dutch Ambulance Staff
The imprisoned Dutch Ambulance Staff which was detained and sent to Ceylon for carrying "war letters", left direct for Holland in July1902. Dr. Cosber, interviewed on arrival at the Hague, referred to the rare consideration with which he and his medical colleagues were treated in Ceylon, and described their "parole" as "elastic". He made special mention of the full facilities afforded them to use the laboratories and prosecute their studies.
