GENERAL GIRAUD
RECENT ESCAPE FROM FRANCE IN BRITISH SUBMARINE. AFTER FALLING INTO WATER. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day, 11.5 a.m.) LONDON, December 20. It is revealed that General Giraud escaped from France in the same British submarine in which MajorGeneral Clark landed in North Africa to meet pro-Allied officials. To take off General Giraud, the submarine entered a land-locked French harbour and came to the surface a thousand yards from the shore. General Giraud came off in a rowing boat. The sea was so rough that he fell in when trying to transfer to the submarine and was dragged aboard by his coat collar.
