Read Brandon's Truth
Tales of the Great War

R7ERALD BRANDON an American who served in
II q the foreign legion of the French army for year
W and half has written for the Oklahoma City
Times a series of Truth Tales of the Great War-the
human interest tragedies comedies, romances which
find no place in the colorless official dispatches
Brandon has a record as a fighter and soldier
of fortune second to none He has much and he
has facile pen. With the foreign legion there has
been little indeed of the commonplace for the attitude
of France has been;
"If men volunteer to fight they should be per
mted to see all the fighting possible"
And the legion has all the fighting possible.
Brandon, before the war, was newspaper and
magazine writer.
