PRISONERS OF WAR
TRUE COMRADESHIP (N.Z.P.A Special Correspondent)
(Rec. 11.15 p.m.) LONDON, July 14. Sergeant A. G. Gray, of Auckland, who is a prisoner in Stalag 383, writes of “ a touching example of comradeshiD in this camp.” He said that when a New Zealander was recently very ill, and was thought unlikely to live, it was stated that a certain natural food tonic would be of the greatest benefit. This tonic is contained in American food parcels. Sergeant Gray, with Sergeant-major G. T. Secombe, approached the Americans, who immediately gave tins of the tonic and refused any payment. The New Zealander survived, and is now recovering.
