Campbell fails from start to finish to
give a single name of the many
from Mons to Ypres who saw the
apparition in golden armor."
Now a new witness comes forward
in the person of a lance corporal
whom is at present in the hospital.
but still there is no name given, as
the gallant soldier is forbidden to di-
vulge his Identity.
He says that half of his battalion
was on the edge of a wood resting
when an officer came up and asked
them if they had seen anything
startling. He passed on from one
party of 10 men TO the other and
asked the zine question. They
thought at first a surprise attack by
the Germans was what he meant.
Later. however, the officer invited
them to look at the sky. This is the
corporars account of what he saw:
In the mid air there was strange
light which seemed to be quite dis
tinctly outlined and was not a refiec-
ton of the moon, nor were there ans
clouds in the neighbOrhood. The light
became brighter and l could see quite
distinctly three shapes, one in the
center having what looked like. out
spread wings. The other two were
not so large but were quite plainly
distinct from the center one.
They appeared to have a long
loose hanging garment of a golden
tint and they were above the German
line facing us. We stood watching
for about three-quarters OF an hour.
All the men with me saw them and
other men came up from other groups
who also told us that they had seen
the same thing.
Il am not a believer in such things
but I have not the slightest doubt
that we really did see what l am tell
ing you"
The corporal concludes with the
statement that he has seen 10 years
service and that, as his soldering
DAYS are over for ever, he has mo
desire to make a fool of himself by
telling a tarradiddle tale merely TO
please anyone

Of the vision" has come from various
sources.
Arthur Machem, q well known au-
thor, SAYS the whole story originated
from an imaginary incident which he
himself conceived and published as
fiction in q London paper shortly
after the battle OF Mons. He now
quotes in a little BOOK entitled The
BOwmen and other Legends some
extracts contained in advance proofs
of an article by Miss Phyllis Camp
bell which is appearing in the Aug
ust issue of THE Occult Review"
Miss Campbell was a nurse in
France when the war broke out and
tended a wounded English soldier who
said he wanted a "holy picture" He
said he wanted a picture or medal Of
St. George, because he had seen him
on a white horse. leading the British
at Vitry-le- Francois when the allies
turned.

statement, but Mr. MaChem's incred-
