the unions tbt soldiers burst into the attic and began shooting uijt at some imaginary enemy after a few minutes we picked up the basket of onions and went down to the kitchen when the germans had finish playing war karnes up stairs they came down again hardly glancing at us as we sat at the table drinking imitation coffee and weut outside well ues got away with it again but our nerve were pretty bad they werent as ragged aa the nerve of the poor unfortunate woman who was har boring us she was terrified and ask- ua to lravr leader captor the priest took us to a horn in another small village nearby the food problem was acute but this fam ily glajjy shared what utu it had the grandfather was a man of 66 who had taken part in two previous wars against the germans anything that helped us hindered them so he rhecrfuly divided his own slices of bread into fractions and passed them around while we were there the local un derground leader the man who interrogated us the first time and threatened us with the iugrr was caught by the gestapo we had to leave again he mightnt talk but we could only stay out of sight until he had bern killed otherwise wed run the risk of being caught by thr germ ans we icarnetl later that this man who was a cripple had managed to keep silent about us and any other of hi underground activities even tho the german filed his teeth down lo the gum another move while he wis alive and in germ an hands all allied evaders in the area cftteltcr and rendevouied in the field just in case he wasnt able to hold uut in all there were sis can adians one american two knylish mm and one new zealander food was brought to us from the village and we passed the time by playing poker with our escape money when the crippled underground leader died of his torture wc went back lo our various shelters not long after this a young girl called for us and led us away usink the bicycle system again wc went to sanlis ir sec just a few miles away our guide who was a school teacher turned us over to a lady and her two daughters in a chateau who thanks goodness could afford to deal reg ularly with ihc hlack market we ate better there the german fie they put us in a big room and gave us clean linen good food and a general good time while we were there we heard that paris had been liberated which explained why the traffic on the main road nearby had suddenly grown thicker the germans fled from paris in tanks and trucks and british and american aircraft strafed them day and night when the heavier vehic les got by then individual soldier in buggies- and on bikes began to scram ble along the roadi then they began coming along on foot then we began to see them limping along without shoes there was no organization at all the only thing that kept them moving was the fact that they knew the french peasant were waiting with pitchforks and longhidden gun to kill any stragglers the chateau where we stayed was used off and on m i temporary com mand post at least as long as there was some organization in the retreat the first time the germans took over the chateau bob and i hid in the cel lar and ate once a day once we pas sed a german officer on the stairs but we simply exchanged bon jours and kept on going he probably thought we were french workers cupboard refuoe one night the school teacher guide was over visiting she stayed past curfew hour and had to spend the night or risk being shot on sight if she went out at night that night a group of storm troo pers moved in they drove a tank through tho front gate and over the rabbit hutch and shot in the front door bob and i jumped out of bod and slipped into a biff cupboard in our bedroom the schoolteacher rush ed in and jumped into our bod to ac count for the fact that it had been used when the ss guard looked in everything was normal we hear tha guns we lived in that cupboard for four days wehiad to ait silently stark na ked on a pile of highheeled ladles shoes we couldnt stretch and t dont think we slept once during tho entire four days the germans wero in the next room and- wo could hear them as they shaved and washed somehow the women managed to synunale food in to us onco each day finally our hostess decided to move us out she fount clothing for ttmstalty us and we dressed left our prison stretched for the first time in 06 hours and set out it was really quite simpler we just walked down the main stairway passed the officers mru out the front door over the sleeping form of german soldiers on the lawn and into the family vault later the village gendarme moved us from the vault to hi own home while we were there we heard the hltc news again and learned that the british had taken amiens which was only about 20 miles away we prayed that jerry would move out soon karly next morning we heard ma chine gun in the distance the wom en and children were put in thr air raid shelters and provided with brit ish and american flags the germans began to leave all the tank port were shut tight llberstle soto afterward the british arriv ed riding on top of their tank and covered with flower wine and cham pagne that had been hidden away for years suddenly began to flow and the gay abandon of the celebration a that village was freed was something ill never forget everyone was kiss ing and hugging eevryone else it waa just half an hour from the time that the first gunfire was heard in the distance that the village was free the priest we had met earlier in our career a evaders turned up aicain that day looking rather flushed doubtlessly with victory he swept aside his rote to duplay a row of re volvers stuck in his belt he tave us each a lugrr and we set off in search of german stragglers we found quite a few we stayed around for a week of hectic celebration we mel and be friended the allied agent who had inen dropped into the area earlier in the war to lead the underground movement as part of the relehrat ins he dressed up in a uniform of his own design and railed himself a colonel he told bob and me we were majors and during that week we were given a sloppy but sincerv present arms by young member of the village militia who stood guard at civic buildings these youngsters left soon after to join the french army we england when the roads begun to clear a bit we hitched a ride to parts with the agent the priest and a young boy from a local farm who was our driver it was full speed all the way in short order we had reached le hour get airport in paris reported lo rlitt- ish authorities and learned that there was no space available to take us back home we went to the hotel maurice on hue de rivalle which was still beautiful in spite of bullet holes it had all the luxuries of life ex cept hot water after three months we still couldnt have a proper bath we had a big night on the town while we wailed for transport home and then caught a dakota headed for kngland i cant tell you how i felt when the misly island edged into view id had my doubt about ever seeing it again back from the dead coming back from the dead as bob and i did was a little complica ted we had to go to a large hotel in iondon along with about 400 hun dred other servicemen in much the same position i was lucky though some of those guys had been trying to get back to england since rom mels time i sent a telegram to my wife in winnipeg the next day and to my parents in georgetown i was pretty pleased when i found out later that my telegrams arrived before the offi cial notification by the government and thats the story just the way jim told it to me sitting on the edge of my bunk on that rcaf flying sta tion in england during the closing months of the war when i learned that jim and his friends had got together to present the plaque in honour of andys mem ory it brought the whole thing to life again i think lta a story worth telling tom warnes master orange lodge 25 tom warnei wu elected worshlp- ful master of loyal orange lodge
