THE B.E.F. AS A FRENCH AUTHOR SUMS IT UP
SIX points in favour of the British soldier were enumerated by Captain Andre Maurois, the French author, at a lecture to French liaison officers with the B.E.F.
Captain Maurois is himself a liaison officer. Lord Gort was among those who heard his address. The speaker finds that the British soldier is a
