7X-PRIVATE DAVID ROBB, of twenty-two-year-old
"veteran" of the Spanish war, is back in London haunted by the memory of seeing twenty-two fellow-Scotsmen being taken away to be machine-gun- ́ned by Moors.
He told me his story last night. His voice trembled as he spoke. This is his three-part story. "Passport to Life" is the title I should give it, says Noel Monks in the Daily Express.
PART ONE
The scene is the Teruel front the time Christmas Eve,
MEN of the International Brigade, about to counter-attack,.are signing forms that make them Spanish citizens.
A company of twenty-nine young Scots arc given forms. Seven refuse to sign. Spanish officers shrug their shoulders. It is not import- ant-to them.
The battle begins.
It is snowing. Somehow the company of Scots have been cut off from the remainder of the brigade. Several of them are wounded.
Suddenly Private David Robb calls out: "Look out, mates, we're surrounded."
In-the snow the company of Scots have blundered Into a whole brigade of Moors,
The Scols surrender,

HE twenty-nine Scols are in prison. The seven who are still British are partitioned off from their com- rades. For their Christmas dinner all are given a chunk [of dry bread and a pitcher of water.
Shell For Defence
Wells-Next-Sea, Norfolk.
BRITAIN is adopting new methods of training for air
defence.
General Sir Edmund Ironside, G.O.C.. Eastern Com- mand, disclosed this when he presided at a meeting here recently, arranged by the War Office, to hear arguments against its plan for an anti-aircraft practice range and training camp on the coast between Wells Harbour and Blakeney Point.
