OUR SIDE

BY BERNARD GRAY

GERMANS who were awarded the Iron Cross for bravery against us in the last war are now in Franco wearing the uniform of the British Army.

And their one complaint is that this time they are fighting with picks and spades instead. of machine-guns and rifles.

They are Auxiliary. Military Ploneers-- labour unit-ongaged in vital work in the B.E.F. lines of communication.

Altogether there are more than 500 Ger- mans, and others are on the way.

I found them singing as they worked, "It's

a Long Way to Tipperary," which many of them learned between 1914 and 1918 through hearing It floating across No Man's Land from British trenches.

"Fighting For Wife"

"They never sing German songs," the C.O.. of one company told me. "We don't mind if they do, but they themselves refuse. Most of them have had such a bad time in Germany that they want to forget about it."

Some of the stories I heard cons. titute a damning indictment of the Nazi system, if any further evidence is needed. I can give no names. Most of these men still have relatives in Nazi territory who would suffer their identity were disclosed.

One fair-haired sergeant was nearly benien to death in a concentration camp after the Nazis had stolen his business and his money. Turned out of the country, a homeless wanderer, he cut off from wife and friends, found refuge in England.

"My wife Is still in Germany," he "Igal a letter from her told me. Just before war broke out, saying that if it happened she wanted me to join the Briksh Army. I feel as if I am fighting for her, as well as for Britain."

Another had been a prosperous solicitor. "I was lucky to leave the concentration camp alive," he said. To this day I don't know why WAB sent there. The Nazis beut me and shot many of my friends. Let me got at them!

Crosses Left Behind

All these men with whom I spoke said they had hoped to be able to join the Army as fighters. But nil of them realise the value of the work they are doing and tackle it with great enthu- sins.

Their discipline is among the smartest I have seen since I came to France Mix months ago. And when

one man was reported for overstay- | inr his evening Jeave, by a quarter. of an hour, the rest got together and
