It is now a year since my capture. A long hard year but I guess all trials have their lessons and consolations if looked on in the right attitude. Many chaps have had news of desertion by wives, fiancées and sweethearts, and the death of loved ones. Thank God I have been fortunate. I am really undeservedly lucky. Reading and bridge still fill my days. Contract Bridge! Always a four at least playing and bridge is discussed and argued from morn till late at night.
