DUTCH AIRMEN
WITH R.A.F. QUEEN'S & ALHAMBRA
Units of the Royal Dutch Naval Air Service now cooperating with the R.A.F. Coastal Com- mand have attacked se- veral U-boats in the At- lantic. They have also a fine record of air combats in which Dutch tenacity | has routed the enemy.
Using their own aircraft, which they flew over to Britain when Holland fell, they lost ΠΟ time in beginning operations with the R.A.F.
Many of their officers and men are married, with families in Hol- land of whom they have heard nothing. They live for the day when they will assist in driving the invader from their country.
Meantime they are popular members of the messes they share with the R.A.F. For all purposes of Service life they live in exactly the same conditions as their R.A.F colleagues. "At one flying boatį station in the West Country, all the Dutch officers speak English, most of them quite well.
Quietly cheerful, ready for any task, and unsparing of themselves in the performance of duty, they are ideal allies and trusted friends.
BRIDE SWORN TO SILENCE
An English officer's American fiancee has been sworn to silence about her wedding plans by the British authorities.
Her fover is overseas, and an Indiscreet word about where he la stationed might imperit him and his mon.
Hush-hush bride whose romance could betray military secrets is Miss Dorothy West, niece of Gov- ernor Leverett Saltonstall, of Mas- sachusetts.
She is on her word of honour not to reveal, even to her relatives, the dale and place of the wedding. She herself is at present unaware of her flance's where- abouts, because the authorities re- fuse to reveal it. And now she has sailed from America to un undisclosed destination to marry Captain, T. Desmont Butler, a native of Somerset, who is with his regiment somewhere in Africa;
Her sister, Miss Mary West, Bald In New York: "Dorothy, a fine horsewoman, met Captain' Butler while hunting in Ireland five years ago.
Captain Butler is thirty-five.
