BREAKING NEWS: Hodson appointed Intelligence Officer in British Army

June 7

Hodosn has been empowered to raise a regiment of 2,000 irregular horse, we will call them Hodson’s Horses, and has been placed at the head of the Intelligence Department.

This is not good news for us!

Last year, Lord Dalhousie removed Hodson from his civil functions and remanded him to his regiment on account of his lack of judgment. His conduct to Indian officers has been one of the worst we have ever seen; so much so he was tried by a British court of inquiry, who found that “his conduct to natives had been unjustifiable and oppressive.”
