and they were found to he the wife
and son of chausseur who had de-
termined not to be separated from
him. Both went into the trenches with
other pOilus, and the most striking
thing about 1t is that they had been
with the battalion for five months be-
fore the authorities found out or
course everybody in the battalion
knew, but as you see, the secret was
well kept.
