Lieut.

Alfred John

Gaul

 

Inadvertently it was stated in the local press recently the Lieut. Gaul (Believed, Alfred John) had been receiving parcels through the “Prisoners of War Society.” This should have read “Canadian Red Cross Society”.

 

As Lieut. Gaul spoke of sharing the parcels with a less fortunate companion, this was quoted to show the needs of prisoners of other nationalities, but Lieut. , Gaul like other Canadian prisoners has been cared for by the Canadian Red Cross society, which has many acknowledgements from him.
