GUARD OLD UNIFORMS

Ex-officers who have their old uniform lying about in an attic or a cupboard, have been asked to put it under lock and key im mediately.

Members of the Afth. column--who might include alien servants-would not hesitate to steal such kit and spread havoc in the guise of a serving British officer.

Events in Holland and Belgium have proved con- clusively the dangers of negligence.

Those who have reason to believe their uniforms have recently been "mislaid" are

asked to notify the police immediately.

TWO unknown British women ambulance drivers are heroines of an astonishing adventure in Franco. They rescued the crew of a R.A.F. bomber, were captured by the Germans, and then escaped in their ambu- lance with the airmen inside.

The adventure started when a medium bomber was shot down on a raid over Northern- Eastern France. The machine was put out of action, but the pilot, who was slightly wounded, made a good landing. He was picked up with his observer and gunner by the British am-

bulance, driven by the two women.

On their way to a base they were made for the German column, to re- overtaken by a German mechanised tire. unit.

For the first part of the journey they passed through territory which had been occupied by the German columns. They drove at top speed and refused to stop.

They delivered the pilot and his crew back to their squadron, where the men had already been listed as missing.
