ANCIENT TIES

LINKING CELTS OF CORNWALL AND FRANCE. The ties that bind the Celts of Cornwall, as of Wales, to the Celts of Brittany and France, were celebrated in a happy Festival of Fighting French and men and women of Cornwall at Penzance on September 7. “Everywhere that we go in England we discover friends,” said one of the Fighting French who took part. They were numerous and well represented, with Admiral Auboyneau, National Commissioner of the Navy, Surgeon General Sice, president of the Breton Society “Fidel Armor,” M. J. Soustello, National Commissioner for Information, and many others. Mr Harvey, Mayor of Penzance, received the French delegation, and the Home Guard, Air Cadets and detachments of the Fighting French Navy took part in a review which was only the prelude to a number of festivities. Traditional dances and songs were extremely popular, and the British National Anthem and the “Marseillaise” were sung with fervour.
