He gives a cheery. but moving story. though he is too modest to tell us that in the Tank Corps of the 5th Regi- ment. he was made a lieutenant for his courage and that he lost his leg in trying to save his tank on the Aragon Front.

These boys did not get much of a send off when they went away. We have now a chance to show our appre- ciation oi their heroic service to liberty and democracy and their beloved Canada.
