Allied Olders Like London and London Likes Them. Any day or any evening in London's streets, hotels, or cafes, strange tongues can be heard. The Allies are on leave seeing the town. Sometimes London finds it hard to recognise them in their khaki battle dress or Royal Air Force blue and has to glance at the small distinguishing tabs they wear on each shoulder. Anyway, whether they are in British uniforms or not, London treats them as its own Sons. Yes, London likes these men who fight on even though their homes are in German hands, and they like London. The Victoria Memorial provides a background for Polish soldiers seeing London.
