Vigilant MP Finds Prince Of A Story
Stars and Stripes
“With the 80th infantry Division,
Wide awake MP Sgt. Tom P. Loftus of Diamond, Ohio, stopped a portly man in British uniform riding through a Luxembourg town in a station wagon with a brigadier general’s star on the bumper. It was a suspicious looking setup, so Sgt. Loftus asked for his credentials.
The ruddy-faced man protested mildly, declaring he was “the Prince of Luxembourg.” “Yeh, bud,” answered Loftus, “well, I’m General Patton and I want to see your papers pronto!”
The suspect produced his passbook and sure enough, he was Prince Felix of Luxembourg, also a brigadier in the British Army.
Prince Felix commended Sgt. Loftus on his vigilance, shook hands and hit the royal road.”
