Alsatian boy hides with family to bury wife under fire
The report recalls a Strasbourg family hiding from German forces. An Alsatian man refused to join the army, buried his wife in a coffin he made from an old table, and later buried her again in Strasbourg after Allied advances. He kept the eight year old daughter with him as shells fell nearby.

Liuchow held under attack from three columns while Yungning’s airfield remained surprisingly intact despite Japanese ravages. Fighting also continued in Henan near Hsihsiakow as Japanese advances feebly pressed westward.
