SERGEANT HINTON, V.C.
IN HOSPITAL IN GERMANY. LETTER TO HIGH COMMISSIONER. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) LONDON, February 23. Sergeant John Daniel Hinton, who was awarded the Victoria Cross in October for heroic conduct in Greece when German armoured forces entered Kalamai on April 28, 1941, following which he was wounded —he received a bullet in the abdomen —and taken prisoner, has written to the High Commissioner in London, Mr Jordan, stating that he has been in hospital in Germany for the last seven weeks, after a long stay in Greece. “I am just about my old self again,” he wrote, and added that he was thrilled at receiving Mi’ Jordan’s letter, the first letter he had got since he was made prisoner.
