According to Tonie and Valmai Holt in "My Boy Jack?"
(1998) p.213, post-war work on the battlefields was
'carried out by Labour Companies often made up of
Chinese, Russian, Egyptian and other nationalities...'
Thus RK could have seen real Chinamen by the roadside
in France during his post-war motor tours.
