Note from Them Days Magazine Archives
[David] used to tell us that when the war ended he was in a trench and it was raining...at the 11/11 hour he and his men looked towards the sky and suddenly in the mist of the rain the sun came out and the sky turned a bright blue and they watched in amazement as a shape of a person formed in the clouds...they thought it was the Mother of God. Hours later they found out that the wear had ended.
