London, 14
December. From Dover arrived the tiding that the
French transport St. Pierre with on board 50
soldiers coming from Le Havre and destined towards
Martinique anchored in the port due to her
damage. She had to be caulked which was the reason that the commanding officer
at Dover was
requested for an empty barrack to serve as an accommodation for the French
soldiers. This request was honoured and last Friday went the French soldiers to
a barrack next to one used by British soldiers.
