LOST BUT CHEERFUL
A CHARACTERISTIC STORY Guy Fletcher, the clever young actor whose new novel. “Mary Was Love,” has just appeared, tells an amusing story of the Prince of Wales at the front. Fletcher was taking a half-company of Coldstreamers up the line to a map reference which had disappeared in mud when he encountered H.R.H. coolly strolling about in a shelled area. Crashing a salute, Fletcher inquired. “Do you know where we are, sir?” The Prince smiled. “I’m d d if I do,” he replied. Of course, he ought not to have been there at all. But to keep the Prince back of the front was a task which turned the hair of many a staff officer grey.
