They were going on a ’baby patrol’ to rescue 81 children (French) trapped xn a chateau in No-Man's land.”And they succeeded, though discovered by the enemy and under artillery and mortar fire. That was the soldiers’ way of doing things— to protect children of any nationality.On the home front we have this 1 tale of an apartment-seekmg wife of a serviceman:In answer to her plea our heroic landlords ask, “Little children? We don’t like them. Serviceman's wife?fflovm m miyiiw up?'Everyone talks about what we , owe the boys. Why not a Uttle on the account now?Emo Barholm,U\i Cross Stieet
