'PULP THEM, BOYS,' YELL GREEKS
FROM DAVID WALKER
(With the Greek Army in Albania)
HEAVY RAIN in some sectors, and deep snow in others, have failed to dampen the high spirits of the advancing Greek Army. The gay courage of these soldiers has to be seen to be believed. One regiment was marching to a tune played on a port- able gramophone carried by a comrade at their head. He was wounded, but the gramophone quickly changed hands.
The fierce rain is adding to the confusion be- hind the Italian lines, which is now so great that the Greek official spokesman stated that details of the Greek advance are not likely to be given för a few days in case the information should aid the enemy.
Evzones, in the Pindus sector, are now yelling "Pulp them, boys,” and are rushing into the fray in a manner that strikes terror into the hearts of the fleeing Italians.
