Prisoners of War Write Home

Cards from her son, Sergeant Henry Miller of the 4th Battalion, and a chum of his, Private Alfred Fellows, 16th Battalion (Canadian Scottish), who are prisoners of war at Kriegsgefangenenlager Wahn (Rhold), have just been received by Mrs. W.E. Miller of 182 West Mill Street. Her son acknowledges receipt of a parcel containing a plum pudding and tells how his chum got the 10 cents out of it. Two lines on his card in which he says something about not having got the money has been scored out. Private Fellows, who has the next bed to Sergeant Miller, says that they were both able to get out of bed together and go around.
