“FRENCH ARE VERY KIND”
Reading edition
The American Embassy in Paris is in daily receipt of letters written by dying German soldiers, forwarded to it by the French Government for transmission to Germany. One is from a German aviator who had fallen into the hands of the French. This man wrote:
“Good-by, dear father and mother; my leg has been crushed. The French officers are very kind.”
A postscript to this letter added by a French officer read:
“At this point the brave fellow died; please forward this to his parents.”
