Most eaaltad of all decora- tions given the armed forces for heroism ls the Victoria Cross.

In the royal warrant it was ordained that “the cross a-‘iall only be awarded to those of-

oers or men who have served us in the presence of the cnem , and ahalllhave

AS ALLIED ARMIES push forward their oifensives in various parts of the world, Canadian military motor vehicles continue to play an important part in the transport of men and-supplies. Along the rim of North Africa they carried a large part of the advancing Eighth Army. Over shell-torn roads and through deep mud, they carried tlic main weight of the Canadian advance in Italy, and a large proportion of the British Eighth Army as well.

At home and abroad, the Ford V-8 Engine is famous for its smooth, surging power and rugged reliability. It is a thrifty engine, economical of gas and oil, and it keeps on eating up the miles with the very minimum of oar-e. In war or in peace, it's a great power plant. Certainly it's the engine you'll want in your post-war car; ,

In this gigantic transport undertaking, Ford-built cars, trucks and universal carriers have borne a substantial share
