FINE EXAMPLE
SET BY FRENCH TROOPS AT DUNKIRK. BEARING AS IF ON PARADE. (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, June 5. The highest praise for the discipline of the French troops who held Dunkirk to the end is given by British naval observers who were among the last to leave. They stated that it was almost impossible to make the French troops break their military formations. If there was room on a ship for only half a company, the whole unit prefered to stay behind, and had to be persuaded to leave. The general bearing of these troops was as if they were on parade.
