44. Ansbakitaiate i Grandmothers Worry Nazis On Guernsey Troops Cannot Cope With Their Dignified Resistance Grandmothers of Guernsey are waging a war of nerves against Nazi "occupation troops, the London Daily Mail learns. With their sons and daughters deported in thousands to work in the Reich, gray-haired and white- haired women xun the homes which have been broken up, look after their grandchildren -- and defy the Germans. That picture of life in Guern- sey was given to me by Channel Islands refugees at a reunion held in Manchester over the week-end. Nothing has cheered them more in their exile than news now filtering through about the fight of the grandmothers, who are setting an example of resistance with dignity more un- settling to the Nazis than open rebellion, "In the streets these old wonien shun the German soldiers. Tney keep their homes spotlessly clean. They. scrape together w h a t money they can for a victory cel- ebration., And they keep rumors of invasion circulating. Both German marks and the small "amount of English money still left in the islands go into the reunion funds. 1 was told about a typical fighter, Madam X, b8-ycar-old Guernsey widow, One of her gons escaped to join the British army three years ago today Ane other son and two daughters were deported. - "She is looking after 12-month- old twin granddaugatevs whose mother is dead. With her she has a daughter who was allowed by the author- ties to remain at home becauso of ill~health caused by worry and the food shortage. Thid grandmother runs a big house and a kitchen garden as it the Germans did not exist. She had a letter from a friend in Britain a few days ago. "Uncle Jeremy dying--will be a happy release for all." ' The friend told "Uncle Jeremy is 'wo islanders use Germans." News from the islands is get ting scarcer. The exiles believo jt is a sign that the women are winning the nerves war and that ~ tho Germans are scared about the chances of a British attack. The Channel Islandéirs in Brl- i tain think their Manchester re- i LS < union will be their last in Britain. "This time next year we will be back in our own homes," they said.

Astounding, amazing and incredible are the words," agreed Colonel Ormesby, head of the Intelligence Depart- ment, as he lit his cheroot. He and Thomas Dodd, obscurely pro- minent member of the Military In- telligence Branch of the Secret Service, sat side by side after din- ner in the lamplit veranda of the latter's humble little bungalow, unobtrusive, screened and unno- ticed in a quiet corner of the Pesh- hawar cantonments. Garstan always was an oxtra- ordinary "bird," he continued. "A damm' good fighting soldier. But of all the bull-headed blundering asses! Yés, apart from routine or running a show on active service, it a thing can be done the wrong . way you can rely on Garstan to do It." "Prehistoric animal," 'murmured the other man. "You'd have thought even he would have known more ahout court martial routine than that. Fancy not not knowing that a district court. martial can't try an officer." "Of course the whole thing will be quashed and Garstan will get a real rough raspberry. But of course he'll get a proper court martial. His father'll see to that." "You don't believe the charge, do you, sir?" Ll * * "Good Lord, no! ~Of course I don't believe it -- but at first sight It seems to lave happened". "By Jove, there's one thing about it. Hoiever narrow an escape Garstan and his merry men had, it turned out pretty useful in the end." 3 "It did indeed," agreed Colonel Ormesby. "Quite a case of 'All's well that ends well" About the biggest haul we've ever made. It only the Singing Hadji of Sufed Kot and the 'Hadji of Turangzai had been there too, the Border would have been quiet for a generation."

For just as Vere-Veughan had produced from the lining of his Pathan -cap about which his tur ban was bound, a little piece of paper and handed it to Garstan, there came a knock at the door and in came - MacIntyre, who whispered In Garstan's ear some- thing that caused that bull dog jaw to drop .yet lower and those prominent eyes to hulgo- yet more.

One evening in November, 1940, during the German blitz on London, Mr. Churchill, Bren- ; dan Bracken, British Information _ Minister, and Air Secretary Sir "Archibald Sinclair were in the dining room at- 10 Downing Street, the Prime Minister's home. A bomb fell on the Treasury building, demolishing that struc- ture. The explosion blasted out the kitchen wall in the Churchill home. . : None of the British Cabinet ministers had gone to the bomb shelters.
