THIS, ADOLF ADOLF
A BRITISHI SOLDIER, furiously cycling into a lonely farmyard with a message that enemy para- chutists had landed two or three miles away, sent powerful defence forces into action in the Southern Coastal Defence area.
A shouted order from somewhere in the farm- yard brought men of the Black Watch running to their action stations (writes a special correspon- dent), and in a few minutes a long line of armed cyclists sped down roads towards the objective.
An airfield was supposed to be in enemy hands, and the cyclist's message and swift movement, that allowed were part of the con- stant practice of defence..

South slipped at the very first trick; he should have won with the
