Description:

"The true story of a French woman, Madame Baudhuin, who was presented to King George V in 1927 in recognition of her heroism in the Great War. Following a battle in Flanders on 26th August 1914, near Le Cateau, Mme. Baudhuin hid a British soldier, John Herbert Cruickshanks. Despite his discovery and their imprisonment they are saved by the rapid advance of British troops. (EAFA Database)

A 'Musical Direction' credit for Eric Freeman, suggests a specially-composed accompaniment, but no recordings were passed to the IAC (EAFA Database).
