ESCAPES FROM KOS
TRIBUTE TO GALLANT BRITISH SERGEANT. mv Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright) By 5 LONDON, October 18. Scores of our men who. got away from the Dodecanese island of Kos owe much to the enterprise of a 22-year-old British sergeant. A correspondent in Cyprus says that for five days and nights this soldier evaded searching German tommy-gunners, collected scattered bands of British troops, and guided them to a rendezvous. A boat took them off by night. A British North Country regiment wiped out the first wave of enemy parachute troops on Kos. Then the regiment fought gamely against heavy odds throughout the fighting on the island.
