the phrase "People's War," und it is no pilece of shallow rhetoric to declare that the ury that is fighting to save Britain is in every way People's Army.

We were allowed to settle down gradually, and I can truthfully say that, considering the six weeks I have beeh here we have been almost coaxed into learning the tricky job of Boldiering. To bully and blast is not the way of the modern sergeant. 11 all boils down to the fact that the instructors remember that it free men they are dealing with.
No War Worry
You who are about to join the People's Army will have some rough passages. I have had mine. I have felt home-alck. But
In the Army you will find a strange comradeship, like no- thing to be found in civil life, venture to assert that this spirit of comradeship bna never bern stronger than in the Army of the British People.
You will feel fitter than ever before, you will sleep better than you ever did. You will feel awkward at Arst, but you won't be treated ns if you were a brainless auto- maton.

One thing more. This People's Army must never, never be allowed to die. The Army and. all It has to offer has too long been estranged from the peo- plc. A wonderful change has pic. taken place in the spirit and temper of the British people. The heart of the British people huus always beat strongly under its civvy trappings; the heart of the British people still beats, but a thousand times higher and holder since It came to be beneath khaki.

At My Mercy
THE
HE man who on Septem- ber 28, 1918, held Hitler
at his bayonot point and let him go because Hiller was wounded is busy salvaging his home in Coventry.
It was destroyed in Hitler's maniac raid on the city.
Yet had it not been for this man Hitler would never have been alive to instigate his savage bombing.
This man is Henry Tandey, V.C., who at Menin with only nine men to help him held up for four days and eventually captured 16 enemy machine- guna.
Wants Second Chance
He took the crews prisoner except for those who ran away led by a wounded corporal. That corporal was Corporal Adolf Hitler..
Because he did not like to shoot a wounded man Henry Tandey let him go..
"But if I'd known who he'd turn out to be I'm damned if he'd have got off," Mr Tandey said-to-me, his-arms-bristling in his shirtsleeves.
"I'd give 10 years now to have had five minutes of clair- voyance then.
"Now, when I tried to get back in the Army to see he didn't escape a second time, they refused me because I had A game foot."
Then Mr Tandey, the only living N.C.O. with the right to wear the V.C., the D.C.M., the M.M. and the Mona Star, gave me the story of how he saved Hitler's life and won his V.C.
"For several days I and my platoon had held up a large German contingent with our two small Lewis guns,"
," he said.
"The Germans had sixteen. machine-guns, but one by one we picked off the members of the gun crews.
"Eventually we decided to polish these Jerries off, so I rigged up a plank bridge for the others to get across and charge them."
This "rigging up the plank bridge" meant 15 minutes' cool work under a hall of machine-gun, fire, from the enemy.
Hifler at the height of his mili- tary career in the last war.
"Then, we dashed across. "Only nine of us.made it. We were
oul. hopelessly numbered.
"So I told the boys to fix bayonets and charge. The Germans fled and we took about 37 prisoners."
For his outstanding bravery and his leadership in this exploit. Corporn! Henry Tun-' dey was awarded the V.C.
"The fleeing Jerries were led by a Corporal. I was go- ing to pick him off but he was wounded and I didn't like to shoot at a wounded man,
Corporal Henry Tan- dey, V.C.-hero of the last war and one
of Coventry's heroes, too -here for the first time tells Vivien Batchelor the amazing story of how he had Hitler at his mercy on the Western Front.
"When I see the helpless women and children up here. that he has wounded I am sorry to God for my compunc- tion."
Henry Tandey had no idea that the corporal was Adolf Hitler. He has never told this story before. It Hitler himself who was the first to admit his identity--to Mr Chamberlain.
was
When Mr Chamberlain made his historic visit to Hitler's hideaway at Berchtesgaden he was shown a painting by Fortunino Matania of a 1918 battle scene at the Menin cross roads.
In the centre of the paint- ing was Henry Tandey.
"That man came so near to killing me that I thought that I should never 'sce Germany again," Hitler said to Mr Chamberlain pointing to the central figure.
Tea For Wardons
"Providence saved me from such devilishly accurate fire as those English boys were aim- ing at us.".
On his return to England Mr Chamberlain told this story to a colonel in the Green Howards, Henry. Tandey's late regiment,
For the past sixteen years Henry Tandey has worked as a commis- sionalia in a-Coventry factory. His rows of meint ribbons lend two splashes of colour to his dark blue uniform.
"And before the war is finished I hope to have the chance of atid- ing a few more to them," he said..
With his wife he lived in small house in Coke-street, Coventry, until Hitler's fateful raid.

Mr Tandey didn't salvage much of his own home.
He was too busy being a hero in Coke-street.

no fewer than 12. blazing houses he rushed to rescue the trapped occupants. Fighting his -way through the flames he dragged out half-suffocated women and children trapped in their cellars.
Everyone in the road is full of the heroism of Henry Tundoy, V.C.
"Well, I had to do what I could. Everybody had to lend a hand," he sald deprecatingly of his own night's work.
Tokon Of Esteem
But he has salvaged a clock. In the little room at his works which is now home to him since one of Hitler's bombs brought down his bedroom and kitchen it has a place. of honour on the mantelpiece,
Inscribed on the clock is "L/Cpl. Tandey, V.C., D.C.M., M.M., Duke Wellington's Regt, Old Con- temptibles Association, as a token of esteem and comradeship, April, 1020.
"But now I reckon they would have esteemed it more if I'd bump- ed the blighter off," he laughed,
His one grief now is that they won't have him back in the Army. But as I left him he fired one parting threat. "Just let him ever come over here. He's got an old score to settle with Commissionaire Henry Tandey."
Duchess Of Kent And Greek War
EVERY night the Duchess of Kent anxiously awaits the B.BC. news, according to a London report.
As 9 p.m. approaches she sits in front of the radio at her coun- Itry home-and listens to the
latest news of Greece.
In the morning she hurriedly reads the newspapers- tú see how the Greek Army is pushing back the Italians.
She frequently attends the Greek church to pray for vic- tory.
When the war started she was one sang the 1,000-year-old Greek hymn of the Greck colony who fervently
