N.C.D.N, Photographs On Monday evening French sergeants and naval petty officers entertained their opposite numbers in Shanghai's British Forces at dinner in the Sergeants' Mess of the French Military Forces Headquarters in Route Frelupt, when the solid, unbreakable bonds of Franco-British friendship were demonstrated once again. British and French flags were everywhere in the beautiful decorated room. Facing the tables was a huge Union Jack spread out on the wall. At each side of this was a French tricolor and mounted on the Union Jack were portraits of His Majesty the King, President Lebrun, General Gamelin and Viscount Gort. On all the tables long red, white and blue strips were prominently displayed.
