Hon.Sec.

Mrs. Bourne Wheeler.


Dear Sir, (or Madam)

                  We have to-day received information that....your husband....

267202 Pte. F. Norton....is a prisoner of war at...Coy. 23, Sect. 6,

Munster I i/W.

                  We have placed his name on our list, and supplies of food

and clothing will be regularly despatched to him from to-day in

accordance with the following particulars; -


       Six Food Parcels, (8/-each) every 4 weeks.

       26 lbs. Bread from Copenhagen or Berne (7/6) every 4 weeks.

       A complete outfit of clothing every six months.


                  The contents of the food parcels are varied every week, and

every parcel contains 50 cigarettes. The accompanying slip shows the

contents of the parcel we are sending at once.

                   No articles of any kind can received by this Committee

for forwarding to Prisoners of War.

                   Our work is entirely dependent upon voluntary subscriptions

and we shall therefore be grateful if you can help us with the cost of

the food supplies, but is not desired that anyone send more than

they can comfortable spare.  As our office staff must be kept as small

as possible, we would ask that subscriptions, however small, may be

regular, and paid monthly for preference.   Eight shillings will pay 

for one food parcel, and the donors name and address is written on

the card which is packed inside the food parcel.

                     Will you please tell me at once the Cap and Boot sizes of this

prisoner of war, and inform us in future of any change in his address

that he may tell you of.

                     You may send him a personal parcel yourself once every three

months, of which particulars are given in the accompanying circular.

                      If friends wish to send extra tobacco, we can issue permits

for small quantities to be ordered to go direct from authorised Firms,

duty free.

Yours faithfully,

Florence Bourne Wheeler,

                                                                         Hon. Sec.
