King Out

Event-of-the-week in the Western Theatre was the arrival in France, to inspect the B. E. F. and handshake his people's allies (as his father did in World War I), of Great Britain's George VI. His Majesty, who served with the R. A. F. in 1918 after shifting over from the Royal Navy, arrived in France by destroyer, accompanied by his brother, the Duke of Gloucester, who has the title of B. E. F.'s chief liaison officer with rank of Major General. Length of the royal visit was not announced.

> R. A. F. took advantage of clear weather to bomb Heligoland (which Britain traded for Zanzibar in 1890), claimed hits on two Nazi cruisers.

>Patrol activity on the Moselle-Rhine front reached the level of Indian fighting, the French claiming success at tree-to-tree dodging.

> In Great Britain the Ministry of Supply announced that a 13-year-old schoolboy, one John Clough, had (while bedded with a chill in the infirmary) worked out a new type of air bomb which was a "first-class idea," had passed preliminary tests.
