LOST LIFE TO SAVE BIBLES
The loss of a Chaplain-to-the- Forces on the Lancastria because of his wish to save a crateful of Bibles is a reminder that soldiers often treasure the Bibles pre- scnted to them when they enlist. A Bible issued to a soldier in 1909 went with him to Ireland, India, through the third Afghan War, Palestine, Egypt, then home, back to Egypt, again to Ireland, then home, Gibraltar, Turkey, and - Malta, whên he

self.
