DREAM CAME TRUE
HER “MISSING” HUSBAND For six weeks a woman of King’s Lynn. Norfolk, dreamed repeatedly that her soldier husband was a prisoner of war, although she had been officially informed that he was "missing, believed killed in action.” Then one day she received a postcard from her husband, Private L. J. Clarke, telling her that he was in Germany. By the same post came a Government form concerning her claim to a widow’s pension. Mrs Clarke said: "Time and again in my dreams I saw him as a prisoner.”
Before the war Private Clarke was a well-known track cyclist in England.
