Interpreter Sergeant Captured From 102nd Regiment
A captured 162nd Sergeant, Wroyot J. Baconretare of the 102nd, formerly Suara at Remington Army, is serving as interpreter at a German prison hospital in Darmstadt. A letter to his father in Meriden says he was captured last May after taking a prisoner and that his language skills in English, French, and German earn him good treatment, though many French prisoners are treated poorly by German physicians. The relatives hope to pass more food via a food through a watchdog route via Switzerland.
