my room all shined up.
After several days in London, I
rode In q special "motor-car," with
just the driver and me, some dis
tance into the country by daylight.
Only then did I realize how the
British have taken 1t on the chin.
In spite Of the beauty and grandeur
OF the countryside and the ancient
historic towns and villages, there
was forcefully brought home to my
mind that memorable saying: WAR
Is hell"
But now for the big thrill. My
brother, whom I had not seen for
more than 80 years, wrote me in
October of l94l of my mothers
death. I wanted to locate him.
On my first weekend leave I was
able to be of duty from Friday
night to Monday morning. 1 tele-
phoned for an hour and traced him
to three stations in the British
Isles. The last station believed he
was IA invalid out Of the service.

They did not know his home ad-
dress SO I decided to 60 to my
former home town and see for
myself.
Upon arrival there, on the south
coast, stepped out into complete
blackout, which, of course, is con-
tinuous. Peering through the dark
ness across small plaza, looked
for building somewhat similar in
architecture to our own Capitol.
1t looked strange and incomplete,
but as I approached I realized that
nothing but the shell of that mag
nificent building remained. I could
see through it. 1 then inquired for
the nearest police station. Taxis
are practically non-existent. I
found 1t and little research work
on the part of the police disclosed
my brothers address to me.
It was at the other end of the
city. The inspector invited me to
remain and have a cup O. tea
while he called the Bobby" on

The C.. O. then dramatically in
troduced us. It was q thrill Of =
lifetime. Jim was immediately
granted leave. Since accommoda-
ton was poor where he was then
living temporarily, we gathered up
meager food rations and went back
to Jin's house In our home town
that same afternoon and stayed out
my leave there.
My new station Is something to
behold. I have ceased to live in
hotels and am Quartered with

nically I am adjutant Of q certain

Hollis Valiant Courage
Of Fighters Too
Young to Understand

From somewhere in the South
Pacific, Edward ]. Flynn, formerly
assistant director Of the Washing
ton Criminal Justice Association,
who was recently promoted to first
lieutenant In the Military Police
Corps, writes that there Is q story
to be told under torrid tropical sun
and drenching rains, in mud, swamp
and jungle" story of the valiant
courage "of men too young to un-
derstand, but yet old enough to
fight"
He adds, however, that "in spite
OF 1t all, morale Is high-nobody
doubts the outcome-everybody, day
in and day out, does his job"
1nducted into the armed forces in
September, 1941, 1t. Flynn was first
assigned to the Engineer Corps. He
was sent to Australia, and later to
New Caledonia. It was at New Gale
donia that he entered the Oficer
Training School for the Military
Police Corps, and for some time
after receiving his commission, he
was deputy provost marshal in New
Caledonia. Recent letters indicate
that he has moved to other parts of
the South Pacific.
Prior to joining the Criminal JUS
tice Association, he was a parole in
terne at the -Lorton Penitentiary
and the District Jail.

Stan Sergt. Juliano, is now sta

1T is not stretching the truth
one particle when I inform you that
he Is the best liked and most valued

devoting heart and soul to his work,
is accomplishing and at all times
helpful to his fellow soldiers. II
each and every one Of the American
fighting forces put as much interest
and enthusiasm into their work as
does your husband this war would
be shortly ended in glorious victory
for US.
This is the first letter Of this
kind I have ever written. but your
husbands performance OF his work
has made me feel that you should
know 1t. I I-might add, too, that he
is in good health and spirits and
anxious to get back home to resume
