A He said-that-during the withdrawal [gnd the evacuation and the trip over, fcwhen they were dive-bombed—during all /those difficult'-.days he did not see one man, whether from Britain, Ausixalia, or New Zealand, who had his [tail down. The Germans must have found it. rather hard to understand {how people of British stock could take fdt, and how calmly they could withthe Germans' terroristic tactics. -■•Further reports of the evacuation show that a small party of sappers /stayed at their posts until the-very last jninute and utterly smashed everything [that might have been of the slightest [vse to the1 Germans. They blew up all railway bridges, made bonfires of milijtary supplies, and left time fuses to -complete the destruction.
