THEY ALSO SERVE
GIRL GUIDES IN WARTIME VALUE OF TRAINING PROVED From all over the Empire comes news of how the Girl' Guides are helping with war work and how useful they arc finding their Guide training. This is particularly proved by the following account just to hand from London. Many Guides served in France when the British Expeditionary Force was there, and one Guider, who was driving a car as liaison of-' ficer for the French and British Red Cross, tells of many exciting adventures and how extremely useful she had found her Guide training, not only lirst-aid, which she ahd constantly to practise, but also stalking and tracking, hiding in ditches or up in trees when they ran into German advanced patrols, finding the signs these patrols had laid in the forests, piloting a small fishing boat across the Channel by the suu and stars without a map or compass, and .finally signalling in semaphore to inform a British naval patrol of their identity.
