Prisoner of War.
Early in March Mrs. L. Brett, of 4, The Crescent Conisbrough, was informed that her brother, Gnr. T Stephenson, had been posted missing on Jan. 28th.
Recently she received an encouraging letter from Commanding Officer stating that her brother was out with other officers and men on a night patrol, when they were surrounded by the enemy. Some managed to get through to safety.
The C.O. expressed the opinion that Gnr Stephenson was unharmed and in enemy hands and this supposition has correct, for Mrs Brett has received official information” that her brother is a prisoner-of- war In Italian hands.
Gunner Stephenson is 41.
