Mrs. A. G. Garnham, of the Post Office, Fersfield, Diss. Norfolk, writes to me: ―
To Dr. Heyman Wreford,
“Thank you so much for ‘Message from God’ for February, also for your letter. It seems too awful to read how the poor boys were treated by the Germans. I am very worried and anxious myself at present, as my dear husband was captured by the Germans, March 21St 1918, and I do not know where he is. The last letter he wrote to me was dated October 2nd 1918, so as most of the prisoners have returned, I wonder what has become of him. I should be so grateful if I could hear any news of him. The War Office can tell me nothing at present only that they have sent out his name and number to be searched for. I will send you his name as you might be able to help me in some way. He has had much prayer resting on him for a long time. It seems so hard to part from those we love, and to know they may be ill-treated. It is more than two years since I have seen him. This awful war has-ebbed so many of their loved ones. I see by the papers there are more than 64,000 to be accounted for. ―Yours sincerely, A. G. Garnham.
My husband’s name and last address:—
307740 Pte. Alan George Garnham, 2/8 Lancashire Fusiliers, last heard of at Friedrichsfeld Camp, Germany.”
If anyone can relieve this anxious heart, will they please write direct to Mrs. Garnham, or to Dr. Heyman Wreford, The Firs, Denmark Road, Exeter? We give his photo with this article, and this may bring him to the remembrance of some reader.
