Bristol, and home. -He toad glow, ieoldng back 'on it,Prison camps seemed like a back dream, but for the times when Kai Cross feed parcels arrived. "You- have twice saved my life", writes Captain.Roberts of Red CrOSS. "The first time your food parcels saved mefrom starvation. I` say this in all seriousness as I was "blacking o'ut' continuously and could barely waik from weakness up to the thne that your parcels arrived in camp. The second time was when I was down with pneumonia; the Red Cross supply of injections and tablets ar- rived in camp two days before the illness overtook me." Captqn Roberts goes on to say: "But this is not all. When at last arrived at the Repatriation Camp there was a Red 'Cross Gift waiting for me --Ta cplorful toilet bag with hankies, cigarettes, chocolate, • etc. How Can we express our gratitude to you who have followed inia- forWnes, and made the path easier, and who, even in our moment of newly found, freedom, are waiting to give those things which you, know are useful and inuel needed?" An observant -orderly, on a remit-, riate's train says that "a good hot square meal, a bath and a good clean bed" appear to be the things most urgently craved .by the re- patriates reaching- Britain, second only to their insatiable demand for hot, sweet tea. "I don't know °how any cups were enjoyed by them uring the journey, for kindly people rought them to the train Airing Its." • Volunteer women who stand pat- ntly packing food parcelf for pri- oners of war in the six Canadian ed Cross plants find in this assur- rice of a "life -and ` death" need, et, their rich reward..
