"The Hellish Navy means the Same to us as to the British prople, for the freedom of our country depends on it as Eng- land's freedom docs."
WESTERN Front Romance No. 1 has come to Olga Richards, 22-year-old variety actress from Chingford, Essex-all because she joined the "Hello, Happiness" company to entertain the British Forces in France.

I spoke to a very huppy Olga at her hotel at Air Force hend-quarters (writes the Exchange War Correspon- dent).
"The squadron-leader goes on leave in ten days time." she said. "By that time I shall be back in England, and we are to be married as soon as possible."
