pA yo * _*Our Captain-General Is Dead'—

Live British Salute Makes Red Heads Bow

By United Press WITH THE BRITISH COMMONWEALTH DIVISION IN KOREA, Feb. 7--"The King, _ pfir Captain-General, is dead.” + With these words, every big ~~ ‘gun of the British Common. wealth Division roared a simultaneous 101-round salute today in tribute to the late King George VI. Shells were fired at 60-second intervals. After a short pause there was another salute to the new Queen, : s Officers believed the firing order was without precedent for British troops in the field of battle. . Unlike Commonwealth artillery that fired salutes around the world with blank ammunition, these guns were loaded g with live shells. No blank shells were available and British artillerymen were somewhat unhappy. But to avoid wasting the ammunition each gun was directed at a Communist supply center.

~ ~ » EACH FIRING was ordered verbally by Brigade Maj. P. M, Victory. Over the field radio he said: “The King, our Captain-Gen-eral, is dead. Royal salute, 101gun salute, 60 seconds. Fire.” The guns finished at 12:41 p. m. in the salute to the late King. After a five-minute pause, Maj. Victory’s voice again was . : heard over the field radio: . ‘We Can't Believe He's Gone'— “Long live the Queen. Royal | salute. Twenty-one guns salute. Fifteen seconds. Fire.” Long before the salutes were fired, gunners sat stiffly in their bunkers, awaiting orders. At 11 a. m. the orders were sounded for them to man their guns.
