  • In June 1906 five British officers decided to go pigeon hunting near the Nile Delta village of Dinshaway (spelled as Denishwai on the postcards). During the course of the expedition, fire from one of the guns set fire to a pile of grain on a village threshing floor. In response, the owner of the threshing floor tried to seize the gun. Five villagers, including the owner's wife, were wounded in the ensuing melée. Two officers were badly wounded in the struggle, Capt. Seymour Clarke Bull later dying from heat stroke. The British response to this occurrence was swift and harsh. Fifty-two members of the village were put on trial for premeditated murder. Thirty-two were found guilty, most were flogged, but four male villagers were hanged. The Egyptian population was outraged by this incident. The long-time British administrator of Egypt, Lord Cromer, was forced to resign in the wake of protests over this incident. It should also be noted that pigeons are domestic animals in Egypt.
