trying to be brave and keep back
sobbing-soine sniffling.--and others
the tears.
Most seriously affected were the
auxiliary policemen who were at
tending instruction courses in the

They broke down completely and
some ran out Of the building shak-
en- with emotion and tears stream
ing down their faces.
As a matter Of fact they were
