Mr. Elliott, declared when shown a newspaper, that it must be old as It contains nothing about the War. He is unable to understand why This hair has gone grey.

Mr. Elliott is aged 52 and left his shop at Teddington complaining of à terrible headache. Two days later a parson in Teddington ap pealed from a pulpit congregation to help to find the missing man and prayers were offered for his safe return. That, afternoon two mem- bers of the congregation saw, Mr. Elliott walking on the road to Sur- |rer. He did not recognise them, but was persuaded to enter their car and was driven home. When he arrived he said: "This is not my ward, I was in another ward facing the sea,"

He wanted to know why he was Junable to bear the sea, and why the trees were bare in summer. In the summer of 1917 Mr. Elliott was recuperating from a severe lineas In the Military Hospital at Bourne- {mouth and had been sent home from {Flanders,
