PATIENCE, CAUTION AND DISCIPLINE

Underground Army Warned (Received May 28. 8.53 p.m.) RUGBY, May 27. Europe’s underground army was warned today in the fourth operational order from the Supreme Commander of the Allied Expeditionary Force to keep off the roads when liberating forces land and go into battle. The broadcast said: “Do npt let the Germans entice you on the roads. It is theje the greatest danger lies. Whep enemy uniformed forces arrive 4 fighting may pass through your district. This will be the time when you will be able to give them the most trouble and obstruct their progress. “In the common interest at that time do not on any account leave the neighbourhood of your village or town. The safest place against bombardment is anywhere below ground level. Arrange to have a store of good water always ready. Hide your tools so that the Germans cannot take them. Also remember that as soon as the fighting has s passed the Allied armies will have need of you. Your difficulties are fully recognized, but every help you can give will quicken the progress of the war.

“Do not jump to wrong conclusions. You n>ist not think that there will come a particular moment or day when everyone must act and after that it will be all over. Particular orders will be given you through your own leaders, who know the part you have to play. These orders will take full account of your circumstances and difficulties. Meanwhile, patience, caution and discipline are needed now.”* <
