King Arthur and Guy of Warwick, brave Richard and Robin Hood. They said: "We have conic to ask' you, in the name of our great -St* George, Could you do with extra swordsmen, or a few spare hands at the forge?" As they spoke, they stared around them; awe took the placed of doubt: They saw the tanks move forward and the dawn patrol go out. They saw the searchlights hidden in every summer glade. How tho six-inch guns were mounted and how the shells were made, Then the phantoms smiled together; they said; "We might have known'' —Greta Briggs in the Daily. Telegraph, Loiyloji. " •• * ' • *. *
