Finding a little restaurent where our breakfast could
be obtained we entered and there "la petite jeune fille" her
heart stillfull to overflowing with love for the American
people, immediately discovered our mission. Occasionally
the preparation of our meal was interrupted by the little
girl rushing in feeling louching our uniforms, shaking her head with
great feeling and exclaiming in broken English "Great American
Nurse in Cemetery many soldiers, I visit American Nurse".
After breakfast this child of nature accompanièd us
through the quaint little streets arched with trees and
fragrant blooming vines, to a beautiful little park where
