Washroom where evacuees from Northern France and Belgium have a "clean-up" at Basle after disembarking from the dirty German third-class coaches. After washing up they are given a splendid dinner by the Seiss and American ARC and a band plays for them as they roll out of the Basle rr station happy and cheerful once more singing the Marsellaise and the songs of France and bound for their old homes via the wake of the advancing Allied armies
