Separated in the war area during 1815, a French boy and his family have just been reunited —17 years later. The hoy was only three years old when he was found wandering in the streets of Ht. Omer, about 20 miles from Calais. He was unable to give any details of his home or parents. A few days ago, following the publication of the youth’s photograph in several provincial newspapers, a woman named Leroy thought she recognised her sou, whom she had lost about the time the boy was found. A meeting was arranged, and the woman and her husband were able to identify their son, now a young man of 20. The three returned home together.
