Fitting mothers and wives of the heroes of, Verdun, ,at whose glorious valour and 'amazing endurance all the world .wonders, and, fitting mothers, .of now Franco that. iW, to, be rafter victory has crowned the arms of the Allies-. T)ie men .of France are, splendid. , What else could the. progeny 'and cohsqrts,, of such wohien be? the women ot Fiance Tpay.niy humble tribute. While France has ' such women she Can neve? be defeated. To the brave Soldiers' of Fiance I - tender on behalf of the Australian Commonwealth and our - AUstra',lihn soldiers the right hand of fi;iehd L ship, and declare oh their ;behalf that we will fight by then"* side until- 'we havte driven the last of the ( invader's off French soil."
