Everything In Belgium for me

Then came the events that led up
to Miss CavelPs arrest and execu-

Once there came to the clinic a
soldier from Poland with the usual

day, but we felt he was not what he
said he was. And then another, Gas

two weeks. He was given the Gus

and IT WAS he who later returned to

information that led to Miss Cavelrs
