Original Toronto Star caption: Red-faced reporter Bruce Ward has turned in his Redcoat after his abortive bid to storm the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapols, Md. His mission was to return with the Royal Standard invading Americans filched from Fort York in 1813. Although he lost the battle, The Sunday Star is still hoping to win the war. The hundreds of give-us-back-our-flag coupons readers sent in will be forwarded to Jimmy Carter for action.
