American service men stationed in the British Isles have made an extremely favorable impression on the British public by their conduct, according to Walter N. Rothschild, member of the board of directors of the U.S.O., who has just returned from a six weeks visit to England, Scotland, Ireland and Iceland.
Mr. Rothschild made his trip under U.S. Army auspices, crossing on a U.S. Army transport and returning by U.S. Army plane. His tour was an official inspection, as chairman of the Army and Navy Committee of the Jewish Welfare Board, of the religious services rendered to Jewish men and women in the Army and Navy installations in the British Isles.
