Abstract

T and to our young comrades who, in the capacity of liaison officers, have been responsible for contact and have had to bear the brunt of the "paper" war. We have enjoyed far more than ordinary loyalty and comradeship. All things pos- sible have been done to smoothe the way for us. These friends, who were worn out by hard work and sorely tried by personal grief, have by sacrificing much-needed time for rest and recreation not only carried out our wishes but even tried to forestall them.
