STUDENT DECORATED FOR WORK IN FRENCH TANK UNIT RETURNS

Decorated after his French suicide tank unit fought its way out of a German Panzer division trap in the Battle of France, Lieutenant Robert Gueiroard, a student at the Business School, returned to peace and quiet in Cambridge last night with his Radcliffe wife, who had waited for him in Paris.

His motorized scouting unit, of which he was second in command, was forced to retreat from Rouen when French engineers prematurely dynamited a bridge over which much of their equipment was coming.

Their numbers decimated, the unit hid in bushes for an entire day while the Germans, in motorized divisions who knew of their presence, ignored them, such was the speed and efficiency of their advance. He and less than a third of his fellows finally broke through a German column and Gueiroard was able to rejoin his wife.
