How In Basra, “cowardly and violent British soldiers”, risking their lives in the face of unequal odds were hacked to death by a cowardly and violent mob of Iraquis, who of course were not following what Ray Fleming tells us about “guide lines”.
Sitting in the sunshine,sipping vino in Majorca hardly puts one in the position to moralise about soldiers' behaviour in war.
For many years I served as a soldier with the Gurkhas, the Scottish Rifles and the Sultan's Army, mostly on active service and much of our success in protecting our own men's lives and overcoming the enemy was down to information gleaned from prisoners or informers, many of whom had to be “encouraged” to co-operate.
War is a nasty business and demands many nasty ways of curtailing it. Yours etc

Dear Sir,
How extraordinary to read about Husk and the chef Sean Brock in the Daily Bulletin.
We happen to own a house in the Charleston area, also on an island called Kiawah and we have owned a home in Majorca for 24 years.
Charleston is full of excellent chefs whose main ethos these days is to prepare food using farm fresh organic local foods.
Another master of this is the chef of Fig, Mike Lata , also a winner of the James Beard award.
Check out Kiawah Island on line - it is a very beautiful barrier island full of wonderful birds, alligators, bobcats.
It has 11 miles of unspoilt beach and you can bike on the sand from one end to the other.
It has half a dozen golf courses and the 2012 PGA will be played next summer at the Ocean course.
