I have told how we went Into I.llle
Satuiday morning a few hours nftcr
tho Germans had left Bruges. They
vveie on tho outskirts of tho city un
til 1.30 o'clock. I went Into that old
town und saw tho glory of Its libeia.
tlon. It was n. strong and exciting
Journey. Wo crossed tho I'landers
battlefields tin the toad to Jlenln,
which for us was the worst load ln
tho world, leeklng vv tthu..Tl1h.6lsami
memories ot horroi, and then through
Roulcis. AVe went up to Thourout,
and from that place, which had heen
taken by Belgian cavalry, wo drove
on up tho long sti night load to
Bruges.
We did not know whether wo could
net Into Bruges. The Belgian cuvnlry
was all around It, but some Germans
were still thete, acting as machine-gun
icnr guarus, nnu an im nriugi's
had been blown up higher up tho
load. After circling round enormous
initio craters we asked soino Belgian
olllceis and they said: "111 uges Is ours
today. The (Jermnns aio fighting on
the canal beyond."
Distant Sound of Guns
So wo went on, mile after mile,
until Bruges was close and wi saw Its
belfry nnd sphes. It seemed too good
to be tiue that we could go so easily
Into Bruges without tunning tho
gantlet of gunfire.
There was onlv a distant sound ot
guns and the way Into the city was
peaceful. ,
In this victory othe north we were
the first englishmen to come to
Bruges, and we had come across our
frightful battlefields with their wreck
age of modern war. We drove now
Into the city, which was built in
medieval days, by noble Flemish
craftsmen, and war had not changed
Its aspect nor damaged the beauty of
Its ancient architecture.
It was as though wo had stepped
out of the hoiror of this four years of
war Into Flanders of tho sixteenth
century on apageant day when the
city was celebrating some festival of
lov after the raising of a siege.
From every house, with Its Old
Wot Id gables, floated Belgian and Hng
ilsli flags Balconies carved five hun
dred "ears ago were draped with union
lacks and Belgian colors.
AP the peoplo of Bruges were In the
streets In massed crowds outsldo the
Hotel Id" VMIe lta '" work

liuus and around the gates of Bruges
with their fat old towers. Illib giants'

Every child In these crowds and
omn ran led banners, so thnt
a he city was filled with color. Bel-,
.L.u,L,Jta rrihrchlnu through had
nnrlands on their helmets nnd flags
id flowers on their guns. Tho crowd
swayed and surged In the streets nnd
squares, and gusts of cheers roso tip
to one. and then, because vye were the
fh st English to come nto Bruges,
amazing things happened to us.,
The "voids "English" nnd "England"
' C1ied by thousands of people nnd
Jollovved us everywhere through these
aualnt old streets, and were called
down i to us from high windows, where
women and children waved colored
