BOY SCOUT MEMORIAL
HITLER YOUTH SYMPATHY
(British Official Wireless.)
RUGBY, December 7.
A memorial erected to the memory of five London schoolboy members of a Boy Scout party who lost their lives during a severe blizzard and fog when holidaying in the Black Forest, Germany, in 1936, has recently been opened by the German authorities. In this memorial, the Hitler Youth Movement has given permanent form to the feelings of sympathy which it expressed in practical form at the time of the disaster. The memorial bears the names of the five boys, together with an inscription in German and English: "Erected in sympathy by the Hitler Youth to the honour and memory of their comrades, the English Boy Scouts."
