Famous War Heroes Who Have Done Their Bit Again
Major W A Bishop VC DSO and MC departs for France eager to return to combat after flying forty seven German aircraft in a storied career. He once attacked two aerodromes solo and destroyed nine enemy machines in two hours. He fled 40 miles into German territory under heavy fire, climbed 12 000 feet to safety, then came back to finish off the leader of the trap. Major Hugh W Niven DS0 and MC, a long front veteran of the Princess Pats, followed suit returning after furlough to lead fresh victories. Niven described his holdout at a rearguard stand as bluffing an enemy with a weak hand before dawn reinforcement arrived. Both officers exemplify courage to British and Canadian servicemen in the United States.
