''There was" said the general "a
certain hospital in France where the
German bombers were coming over
night after night. Some peoplef get
restless when they know that bombs
may be dropped on them. The wound
ed man-although he was practically
Indifferent to shell fire-in a hospital
very often gets seized with this hor-
rible fear, this inability to keep still.
There was certain nurse who was
looking after a ward In which there
was a man who was bedridden and
could not get out of the way. She
had gone off duty one evening when
these bombers came over. She knew
of this man and went back to her
ward. She was not on duty, but she
sat at this mans bed and sang to
him. A bomb fell. That woman was
killed, but the man was left. The
name of this heroic nurse was not re-
