SIR HENRY WILSON

.' ' ——-$_ . FOCH'S HIGH, TRIBUTES TO THE BRITISH GENERAL. In the following letter recently received from Marshal I'och by lord Duucannin, the' Allies' Generalissimo pays a high tribu'e to General Sir Henry Wilson:— "Long Wore the war General Wilson and I worked together to prepare for the struggle against the German peril which we both foresaw. It is due' to the success of .his mobilisation arrangements and his careful and detailed plans for transporting the troops that tho British Army was able to arrivo quickly on the field of: battle as soon as tho Government had come to a decision. During tho war, in the most anxious days, especially those of 1917 and'l9lß, how often (it was almost every day, sometimes every night) we worked together to strengthen as rapidly as possible a weak spot in tho line, to combine bur efforts, to reinforce our hard-tried armies, and once again'to enable them to go forward! And as I recall these memories, 'still so fresh in my mind, 1 see him always before me as ono of the most capable, most loyal, and most valiant soldiers of the Allied armies, and one of the greatest servants of his country.'"
