out he was but six years Of age and
was attending school In one Of the
little Belgian towns that was later
overrun by the German hordes. While
coming home from school one day his
parents told him that the Germans had
invaded his town. A little later he was
hit by fragment Of an aerial bomb
from German plane. Getting up he
ran to his home and there saw his fam

an American transport arrived at the

they would surely get something to eat
