GIRL GUIDES
VALUE OF TRAINING PROVED. From all over the Empire comes news of how the Girl Guides are helping with war work and how useful they are finding their guide training. This is particularly proved by the following information to hand from London. Many Guiders served in France in various ways when the B.E.F. was there, and one Guider who was driving a car as liaison officer for the French and British Red Cross tells of many exciting adventures and how extremely useful she had found her Guide training, not only in regard to First Aid which she had constantly to practice, but also in stalking and tracking, hiding in ditches or up in trees when they ran into advanced German patrols, finding the signs these patrols had laid in the forests, piloting a small fishing boat across the Channel by the sun and stars without map or compass and finally signalling in semaphore to inform a British Naval patrol of, their identity.
