Description
SYRIA. MEN OF THE 7TH DIVISION RECOVERY SECTION RECEIVE A FRIENDLY WELCOME FROM A COUPLE OF THE LOCAL "SQUATTERS" OF SYRIA WHO APPRECIATE VERY MUCH A DONATION OF ARMY ISSUE CIGARETTES. THE GENERAL FEELING AMONG THE ARABS IS ONE OF FRIENDLINESS TOWARDS THE BRITISH TROOPS WHO HAVE MADE THEIR ADVANCE WITHOUT CAUSING MUCH MATERIAL DAMAGE TO THE DISTRICTS THROUGH WHICH THEY HAVE PASSED. (NEGATIVE BY F. HURLEY).
