“I arrived in the Rue Albert—that’s where the British Consulate had its office. Standing outside was a group of seven Frenchmen. I was going to say they were in uniform, but their clothes were strange—half uniform, half hospital pyjamas. Two of them were on crutches. One had a bandaged head. Two had arms in slings. They followed me in and stood before me. ’Mademoiselle,’ they said, ‘you must help us. We must go to England tonight . . . ’ They were only seven Frenchmen —typical of the hundreds who answered the call of their General just two years ago.” —Vera Lindsey tells from the 8.8. C. of the response to “De Gaulle’s Call to Frenchmen.”
