In a letter home dated as received on 9/4/44 he remarks: 'I was captured Dec 6th so didn't get any of your Xmas mail. The day after I was captured I met up with six more chaps of the Coy who had been captured before me, so the seven of us have stuck together, so I have some pals and there's three more chaps from Bradford here...'
