Every­ thing was blown sky-high*—that is everything except Cpl. Sills.” Another lucky escape is reported in a letter to his home in Seaforth by George Case, member of a tank corps, and son of Mrs. E. C. Case. At the start of the invasion of France his tank was destroyed and all the other members of the crew were killed, but George escaped un­ hurt.
