WINDFALL FOR SOLDIERS
BEREAVED MOTHER'S GIFT. MEMORY OF DEAD SON. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright i (Received This Day, Noon.) LONDON, March 12. Two soldiers were waiting for a bus in an Essex village, and wondering what to do with a day’s leave and how to do it on a soldier’s pay, when a saloon car pulled up and a middle-aged woman leaned out and said: ‘‘Please take this packet as a present.” The car sped off and the soldiers opened the packet, which contained 150 pound notes and a letter, saying: "My son was killed earlier in the war. This money was intended to buy him a present today, which would have been his birthday. Please use it. God bless you.”
