met in France, and after they were as
signed to the same hospital as assist
ants to physicians in Brest, remained
together until the end of the war.
Rambo had one of his knees badly
slashed in an exhibition football game
in Brest just after the armistice, and
Immediately on his arrival home was

resumed work. In his statement he
expressed confidence in the dawn of a
new era of prosperity in the stocking

was called, to become effective in
