- Notes // Примечания: When two armed police officers were chasing an armed bandit along Nanzing Road, M. N. Nicolai was buying cigarettes from a street stall. When he “saw the fleeing gunman he made an attempt to capture him by diving and seizing him about the body.” Nicolai’s friend was meanwhile reaching for a spade to use as a weapon, but did not have time to use it before the gunman fired and Nicolai dropped dead. Both were members of the British Defense Force, and quartered at 47 Broadway. Funeral services for Nicolai were held on Broadway and at the Russian Church on Avenue Joffre. “Nicolai was formerly a member of the Russian Imperial Army. He leaves three sisters and a mother, all dependents, in Russia.”
