TRIBUTE TO FRANCE
MESSAGE FROM KINO GEORGE DEEDS OF ARMIES OF NORTH. VINDICATION IN GRIM ORDEAL. (British Official Wireless.) (Received This Day, 11 a.m.) RUGBY, June 4. The King has addressed to the President of the French Republic (M. Lebrun) the following telegram: “Our armies of the. North, fighting side by side, have, with the help of fearless and unflinching efforts of the Allied navies and air forces, come through an ordeal that has proved their courage, discipline and fighting power. The gallantry of this comradeship in arms has shown the enemy the measure of Allied bravery and resolution which will meet him in the battles that are to come. May I express to you M. le President, the profound gratitude and admiration with which I and all my peoples have followed the great part played in these historic events by the French armed forces? We sympathise in the losses that Franco has sustained, but recognise in them a measure of French heroism and devotion.”
