Letter to Brian Walley's Parents from Brian
Description
A letter card sent from Brian's camp. He talks about ice skating and a thaw which gave them time to dig another pond. He complains about Scotsmen playing bagpipes to let in the New Year.
There is also a photograph of 12 prisoners round a table inside a hut. On the reverse is his parents and his addresses. The photograph is sewn onto the letter card.
Part of the message is missing.
