Troop Movements

British, FrenchTC-anadians Fight Side By Side With Norwegiaps.

(By Edwin Johnson, Canadian Press Staff Writer)

LONDON, April l6—(CP Cabin-Britons were thril- led tonight by reports that Canadian troops had landed in Norway to fight side by side with their Imperial and French comrades ilgainst the German invader.

Newspapers and billpostcrs spread the tidings through- out the land in bold black type. Everywhere people gather- ed thc news of the Norwegian landing was almost the sole topic of conversation.

SAY REPORT CONFIRMED

Tonight the British Broadcasting Corporation in a news broadcast said it "now is officially confirmed that Canadian troops are with the British and French forces in Norurily,” but the Wall‘ Office maintained strict silence.

‘ The BJLC. announcement followed persistent reports iin London that an undisclosed number of Canadians have itifllifilifl the North Sczl to Norway and that some French ‘soldiers ivcre included in the expeditionary force.

l It was reported without confirmation that the Canir “dians in Norway are few in number and have been ab- ysorbcd into British units. _

“Good old Canadzl,” and “lheyire JUSl the lads to show

i the (lei-mans a thing or two," were typical comments heard “on street corners, mingled with general expressfons of he- :liet‘ that the Allied troops will deal effectively with thc lGiJlTllllfl forces in Norway.
