Ste. Honorat, near Cannes, France. Leave men visiting the Monastery. The Brother, in his cowl, who acts as guide tells them the history of the old fortress monastery, which was sacked so often by the African pirates. The men do not understand his language, but the old world romance of these quiet pine groves and historic walls need no language to impress itself deeply on their minds. This is part of the leave area of the American Red Cross for it's personnel
