(From THE Watch on the Rhine"
Official Paper, Third Division,
American Army of OccupationD
In a recent issue of Leslie's a short
account is given of an American SOL
der who captured bunch of Ger
man prisoners, among whom was a
former neighbor of his in Ohio who
had visited Germany just before the
war began and had been drafted into
the German army.
Several stories of tbs nature are
afioat. One is told of a lad of Ger
man parentage who, during the
fighting on the Marine, was put in
charge of bunch of German priso-
ners in which happened to be his
own fsther. Another is told of an
American soldier who in this same
battle captured his own brother.
Of all the stories of coincidental
meetings, probably the one having
the strangest termination is that of
two brothers, one an American, the
other an officer in the German army.
1t happened that they were located
opposite each other in quiet sector,
and as each knew the unit to which
the other belonged. they soon were

Perhaps the most home-like gath
ering that has occurred in the A. e.
F. merely by chance is one that is
purported to have taken place in
hospital in Southern France. Two
brothers who had been in the same
company we're wounded on the same
day and sent back together to a base
hospital. They requested that they
be allowed to remain together. and
when they were turned over to the
care of nurse. they had the joyful
surprise of finding that she was their
sister. The following morning a
medical officer who had just come
from the states was assigned to this
particular ward. He proved to be
the father of the two wounded broth
ers and the nurse.

blows each combatant discovered
that he was fighting his own brother
and blows changed suddenly to en-
braces, much to the amazement Of
the bowling spectators. Inquiry de-
veloped that they had been on board
the vessel together for over three
months, and yet they had never dis
covered each other.

at any moment to be blown to atoms

drew them very closely together, but
it was not until the light Of day crept

While not specifically stated, 1t was
