DUTCH SEAMEN
HELPING TO GUARD BRITISH COAST. GALLANT WORK PRAISED (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, July 24. Men of the Dutch Navy, whose ships have been helping to guard the British coast are among the first members of the new All Services Club, which was opened in a west coast port tonight. Welcoming them, the mayor of the town spoke of the gallant manner in which Dutchmen have helped to rescue injured people from the debris of bombed houses recently and of their assistance in digging trenches in the area. Recently their commanding officer had approached him and said his men wanted to show some appreciation of the friendly associations made in the town, and the result was that they had contributed LIGO to the mayor’s distress fund.
