IRON CROSS RETURNED
A German Iron Cross, won by a Prussian officer in the war, and handed as he lay dying at the Battle of Cambrai to a private in the 7th Connaught Rangers has just reached its journey’s end. The British soldier, Private Henry M’Ewan, of Bo’ness, Linlithgowshire, who was later killed in action, sent the cross with his trophies to his wife. About two years ago Mrs. M’Ewan had a vivid dream about the anxiety of the German officer’s parents. She traced his mother to Herschdorf, Thuringia, and gave her the medal on the seventeenth anniversary of the son’s death.
