During Fighting

In France

THERE has been organised a schoot for chaplains which they (will attend for some three weeks, receiving instruction in the thorning and a certain amount of physical training in the after-

noon.

It seems a first-rate idea, for many chaplains enter their new duties with very little ideo what exactly they are expected to do.

As it is, most of the work must be left to personal initiative, but ex- perience does teach the pitfalls and the opportunities which stich a senvol can gather and Leach,

Most of these belong to the Church of England, and this must be a great depicted man- tax un an atrendy power in that church. Su great was the loss of chaplains and the dearth of candidates in that church after the lest war that the work of the church was seriously hampered, and appenda were made to all possible candidates, with wide relaxation of the study and preparation usually expected of a elergyman.

It is for this reason more than any other that a request was made by the Church of England that the clergy should be exempt from conscription, [and olso divinity students; an innova-

It can be concluded that the minis- tera of religion who were with the fighting forces in France played their parts with bravery. Those serving with the huts and canteens had the experience of being taken again and again for parachute troops; which was only to be expected when some of these invaders from the air were disguised as clergymen.

The officer told how they reached a sailing boat. “After days of semi- starvation, we were both violently sick, and we were unable to rig our sails."
