Légende
Desert duel between airmen and horsemen. In the district of Shat-el-hai, Mesopotamia, a spirited affair is reported between a party of mounted enemy irregulars and two British aeroplanes armed with machine-guns. The enemy had captured a number of camels and made off, the aeroplanes overtook them, and, descending to within twenty feet of the ground, dispersed the Arabs by machine-gun fire. Abandoning the camels, the hostile cavalry retreated to the mountains, and a trrp of British horsemen came up and took possession of the recaptured booty.
