IN

14 DAYS OF UNBROKEN FIGHTING

(By REGINALD FOSTER)

London, May 31.

MANY THOUSANDS. OF MEN from the B.E.F. have. been brought safely out of Northern France and Belgium, They have been landing daily at ports on the South Coast. Until now no hint could be given of this - one of the most glorious feats in the history of British arms. For days I have seen thousands of men landed from overcrowd- ed ships- men in the last stages of exhaustion and hunger, but with spirit unbroken and rifles slung.

I have seen men with the soles of their boots worn thin, uniforms covered in mud and bloodstained, and I have heard their stories of 14 days' continuous marching and fighting, with never a minute free from the fury of bombs and guns.
