It was Tuesday, November 12 when thousands of people crowded the great church in Paris to its doors, they massed on its wide steps, they were perched upon railings. They formed a great moving column up Champs-Elysé to the Arc de Triomphe. And the kindhearted American officer laughed with gladness. People who had never exchanged a word or met before joined hands, marching with flags and lanterns and music, singing through streets and boulevards. The first procession of that memorable day started from the British Army and Navy Leave Club.
