IMPOSING DEPARTURE SCENES AT BOULOGNE

A DRAMATIC INCIDENT.

LONDON November 10. Most imposing scenes were witnessed at Boulogne to-day on the occasion of the embarkation of the unknown British warrior for Dover on the British destroyer "Verdun," escorted by a flotilla of French destroyers. The highest naval and military honours were paid. The coffin was covered with an old Union Jack under which a sword sent by the King was placed. The coffin was carried the harbour by an Army Service Corps wagon drawn by French military horses and driven by French Artillerymen through crowded streets lined with troops. Bands played Chopia's funeral march along the entire route of the procession which included Marshal Foch, and General Macdonagh representing the King.

A dramatic incident after the general salute took place when Marshal Foch advanced almost to the water's edge alone and saluted his dead comrade. The guns of the escorting French flotilla boomed out the Field Marshal's salute of nineteen guns as the Verdun disappeared into the mist.

The Prime Minister sent a message to Marshal Foch: "Your action in going to Boulogne to salute the body of an unknown British warrior going to England has touched the hearts of all my countrymen, who will never forget what they owe to your brilliant leadership of the Allied Armies."
