PATHETIC APPEAL
BEHIND THE BRITISH LINES IN
PRANCE, Oct. 13. — A German air
plane was brought down in the British
lines this week, after a battle lasting
nearly an hour. The next morning
a German mcahine came hovering over
the same spot and manoeuvred for a
position. It was promptly attacked,
but returned to the German lines after
dropping overboard something which
was seen to fall near an evacuated vil
lage.
Two British soldiers, who were sent j
to find out what had been dropped, re
turned with a beautiful wreath nearly
three feet in diameter. To the wreath
was attached a note asking the Brit
ish airmen to place it on the grave of
the dead pilot.
“The officer you have buried was
my brother,” said the note. “I spent
six happy years working in a London
bank. I know you honor the dead.
Please do this little service for me."
The wreath was deposited as request
ed on the grave of the dead German
airman.
