PARENTS WHO LIVE AGAIN

64 WANT to join the French Foreign Legion; I was on my way to Marseilles to enlist there when gen- darmes arrested me.”
That was the statement made recently to the investi- gating magistrate here by an English boy of 15, Peter Maurice Gerbis, who had travelled three-quarters of the way across France by train and on foot.
He left his parents' home at Congleton, Cheshire, with £5 in his pocket. He travelled by train until funds were exhausted and then walked down the Rhone Valley from Lyons to Valence (nearly 70 miles). Here the alleged theft of a bicycle put an end to his adventure.
