<The journey to the Hague was not without its incidents. The English team travelled to the Hague via Flushing [Vlissingen], and had to change half-way through the journey from a train which was going on into South Germany. Unfortunately one of the players was missing and considerable anxiety was aroused when the time drew near for the train to leave for its German destination. However, some vociferous shouting on the part of the English team proved effective and a face completely covered in lather popped out of one of the windows—the missing member of the team had taken it into his head to shave! He was persuaded to leave the train in the midst of this operation but not before his remarkable appearance—stripped to the waist and with face white with shaving-soap—had succeeded in sending the German and Dutch occupants of the train into fits of laughter.>
