mans expected to make long stay. bur
you gave them a surprise AMI they are
not so comfortable now"
Salute Soldiers Grave
AS the King was walking across
field swept by British he came
to a grave in the bottom Of a shell
crater with q cross bearing the in
scription I'm honor Of unknown
British soldiers" Both the King and
the Prince of Wales saluted the cross.
1T was sporting of the King to come
here" said one of the soldiers. And
if Fritz only knew it wouldn't he be-
gin strafe with his guns? AS it Is.
"Whistling Percy might let loose any
minute"
Whistling Percy is the name for
noisy shell from the German guns.
When the King visited. the men Of
the division which hao seen such des-
perate fighting at Delville. the survi-
vors of the South Africans gave him
the Zulu war cry He managed to see
something of all kinds Of soldiers
fighting under the British flag, from
the Scotch, English and Irish to the
troops from overseas.
Youngest Soldier
Il believe l have found my young
est soldier" exclaimed the King, when
he saw a 12-year-old boy among the
Northamptons. But little Joseph Lee
fevre was not English. He is the son
of dead Belgian soldier and was
found wandering about under shell fire
at Ypres and adopted by the battalion
He told his story in French to the
King and said: "They will not let me
go up and fight, but keep me back
| with the transports"
The King said: LAS I was going to
suggest; and, being a soldier, you will
have to obey ORDERS
Throughout the week a moving picture
man was doing his best to keep up with
the King. while the diffident Prince Of
Wales was noticeably proficient in slip
ping out of the picture just as the oper-
ator began turning the crank.
Not the least of the many scenes with
dramatic appeal during the Kings visit
was that on the quay when the King
landed He was received by guard Of
honor from a battalion Of the King's
Royal Rifles, Is per cent. Of whom had
been wounded.

bearing the royal coat Of arms as a

looked around, exclaiming the King"
The Prince Of Wales was with the

dressed in khaki with the cross bat

At one point on the line the King

Gen. Congreve, whose corps stormed
Montauban and Mametz. Near Fri

made their charge. Now I will breast
the parapet as my men did, he said,
mounting it.
Sees Captured Territory
He walked across the No Mans Land
and saw the effects of the British shell
fire and the maize of fortifications and
trenches which the British had wrested
from the Germans. Standing on the edge
