PRISONER IN GERMANY
MASTERTON SOLDIER WORKING AT SUGAR FACTORY.
“I am working at a sugar factory. There are eighty of us. We all live on the premises and the management is very good to us,” writes Gunner Leonard Sayer, from a prisoner-of-war camp in Germany, to his mother, Mrs L. O. Sayer, of Masterton. “We have bunks to sleep in,” he continues, “and we get four meals a day. We have a big heater in our barrack room and we heat up our tinned goods we get from the Red Cross. Hot and cold water is laid on and hot showers can be had of a night.”
