anybody knew he was writing back
about his introduction to Monsieur
Vim Blanc and Count de la Cognac
and few other noted Frenchmen.
A little later George wrote a squil
about having been present at little

locating the outfit. In the darkness
ne stumbled into a German patrol
Greetings were exchanged with auto
matte and rifle and when George
woke up he was a wounded prisoner.
