Former Shanghai Man Now MANAGING PARTNER OF Soviet Tanks
In German Prison Camp.
His many friends in Hongkong and Shanghal will be glad to learn that a card has been received from Sergeant Jack Sheridan of the A.L.F. Indicating that he is alive and well, although in a prison camp in Germany.
Sheridan is a member of a well-known Irish family at Shanghai and was wounded at Bardin in the early stages of the fighting in the Near East. Thereafter he took part in the Grecian campaign and nothing had been heard from him since April Inst.
He writes that the Australian troops in the German prison camps are doing well, but are in need of sweaters, Bocks and tobacco and also hard chocolate, as a supplement to their diet. This information may serve as a guide to any who intend sending parcels to the prisoner-of-war camps.
