The British invade Egypt and are then upset when one of their soldiers are captured!!

[@farishope6540]

Why should any one bother talking about the life of a criminal who traveled thousands of miles to kill people of other nation! The Egyptian heroes who defended their land with the least resources are the ones entitled for media coverage

After the British troops were searching erratically for lt. Moorehouse in the arab quarter of Port Said, the Egyptian underground had to run away before they were caught. and could not get back to release the prisoner, So the British troops, and their irresponsible leadership
were somehow responsible for the death of the British officer.
