tache, stubby pipe, baggy uniform
wooden muffler, fingerless yarn mitts,
Flanders mud heart of gold and
delicious sense of humor, is discover

trooper, fatalistic and halariously re-
sourceful.
Two hundred and fifty British
Tommies who had lots of actual ex-
perience "over there are in the cast.
In order that the picture might be
militarily correct, Major Harold Har-

Who was it that furnished the
comedy relief during the war when
the allies were fighting in the depths
of despair and the toll and horror of
war had brought tense nerves to the
breaking point? Who was it that
enabled the war workers keyed up to
the last pitch to relax and refresh
themselves in laughter over the
lighter side of the war? Who was its
silver lining?
1t was Old Bill Busby, the uni
