Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Harrisburg Telegraph Jan 25 1915 "This is just a Tommy Atkins in France having his first walk since he was wounded, aided by a French nurse. The Tommy had his leg shot off and he was sent to a hospital. Now he is healed, and he seems just as happy as he was when he had two legs. Had he not lost a leg he would never have seen the pretty French nurse. There is no information as to whether the situation developed further, and since the British censor would not pass the names of the pair any one can build his own romance."
