Part of Papers of Major W.P. Wheldon,

From [unknown] to ‘Josef Werner’, München, Bayern, Germany. The German Soldier speaks of how his camp was taken over by another regiment, and that he was left behind as he was not the best in the section. The enemy attacked, he was injured and was left in a ditch where the crew of an English tank found him. He was then taken through German artillery fire to an English Red Cross Aid post and then on to an English hospital in France where he states he was treated perfectly by the English.
