It was while he was in Leudon that we renewed our childhood friendship and were married yoon afterwards. The legacy he receiv ed from his mother's, estate was only about £1,100. He tried des~; perately to get work in England, but unable to do so, he went to Germany as a teacher of languages.

Then he went to Barcelona and was absolutely stranded. A man who came home from there told me of his plight. I sent him £10, but the day before the money reached Barcelona he joined the Spanish Foreign Legion. That was on July 9, 1925.

Immediately afterwards he was sent to Morocco for the campaign against the Riffs. He fought the whole time under the most terrible conditions, although his com- panions were most uncongenial, consisting mainly of rogues, mur- derers, and thieves of all nationali- tles.

In August 1926 he deserted, us he has explained in his letters, de-, cause he could not tolerate the already engaged to appalling life of the Legion. He
