THE FLBSHBRTON ADVANCE Wednesday, March 1 1, 1942 // * Captured by British in Libya Campaign By mid-December over 13,000 Axis prisoners captured by British and Imperial troops in the Libyan ad- vance, had reached Cairo on their way to prison camps for the rest of the war. The re-capture of Bardia yielded 7,600 more, among them the German General Schmidt, the first German General to raise the white flag in this war. By January 7 the total was 25,000. The picture above shows German prisoners, escorted by Scottish troops and Egyptian police, marching through Cairo to the fam- ous Citadel fortress. A new use for surplus agricultur- al product* may be in the offing.

I said, and continu- ed on my way south. Trafalgar Square was familiar to me, day O r night. I turned down past a bombed church and an ambu- lance passed me in the darkness with its bell clanging, and stopped at the next corner. As I walked past, a lady on a stretcher was tak- en in the little door. The last time I had been past that corner, a friend had pointed to that same door. "That's where they took me the night I smashed up my car in the big blitz," he had said. That was the first time I had knowa he had been bombed. I caught up to a very fat man at the next corner. He looked con- genial. "Is this the Strand?" I asked. I knew it was, but that might be an opening. "It is that," he said, "though ifs not like it used to be in the old days when it was so full of traffic that you couldn't cross it anywhere hereabouts." He turned _to me, "You're an American and don't remember it?" I explained I was a Canadian. "I knew it was one or the other," he said, ^evidently thinking there was no real difference. On a beautiful night like that, it was natural to turn to the weather next. "Last year," he said, "they came over every night, moon or no moon. 1 ' (Hitler is never mentioned by name and the Germans seldom: it is Tie' or 'they.') "About half-past eight, it was. You could set your watch by it. One hundred and sixty-eight nights without a break. Hell, it was. But I'd rather be in London in a blitz than have to live any- where else. No place like London! And 111 live here while they leave two houses standing. But there's the entrance to your hotel across the street, sir." We parted and I edged my way carefully across the Strand, and passed through the revolving door into the bright lights. THE END PR1CEVILLE The Holdfast U.F.W.O.
