Canadian soldiers, like the Yanks, enjey h good laugh at their own expense. Here are samples of
cartoon panels that appear in "Maple Leaf," overseas publication of the Canadian Army. Except for

Mo, -? shows broad strategic set-up in France as the second phase, the Allied invasion of the
Me. ^.jiTanean coast, opens up. Main Allied strategy is to turn Germans' flank, force enemy-back
into line roughly paralleling German frontier. Possible German action, in desperate effort to pre-
vent invasion of Reich itself, would be to hold Caen-Belfort line, attempt counter-attack to break
up Allied sweep.
