Tour of Brussels by Sgt. Chambers in Belgium
Sgt Bernard B Chambers writes from Brussels during leave in June describing city life after German occupation free again at last. He details Y M C A tours to the Palace of Justice, cathedrals, and the famed Waterloo field, noting the Hanoverian relics, art galleries, and a unique statue scene nearby.
