SCOTS' VENGEANCE
RUGBY, September 1. The famous 51st Highland Division has taken St. Valery-en-Caux, 17 miles west of Dieppe. Thus have the Highlanders wreaked consummate vengeance for June 12, 1940, when at St. Valery the last fragments of the original division before it was constituted into its present redoubtable formation laid down their arms. that original division went down fighting to the bitter end. It did not surrender till it left Its x dead in every Norman field from the Somme to the River Durient, from the Cambron Woods to the trees ringing the cemetery where the Black Watch stood at last at bay. Reconstituted, the 51st began its revenge at El Alamein, and today it has crowned all with the capture of St. Valery.—B.O.W. ;
