bayonet and butt became impossible.
There is evidence that at lease one
and probably a second German was
severely cut A third is known to

All are recovering and the wounds in
two cases are slight.
Major Lufbery was killed in flight

which takes an hour to run and in it

From this whole picture it will be
seen that France is literally lin

boy or girl who can do something
anything-for the war are doing it.
