of this service is in Tours, France.
Each photograph will be mounted in

requests are not really necessary
will not hurry the receipt of the jHoto

graphed under the plan worked out by
the army photographers ami they will
not be permitted ' to deviate from this

eleven prisoners at the point of hl3 pis
