Les Fisher in Shamshuipo:

I had a postcard from Win and Bert ((Cox)) in Stanley and both are well. However I can still get no news of Andy ((James Anderson)) as the money I sent has been returned. The only clue I have is that I managed to decipher a half erased remark on the form that ((Major Cecil)) Boon had, which said 'removed from camp.' I tackled the stooges and Boon about it, but they did not help.

Note: James Anderson was in Stanley Prison for his role in operating a secret radio in Stanley. Major Cecil Boon, the senior British officer in Shamshuipo, was court-martialled for collaboration after the war and acquitted.

"Win and Bert ((Cox)) in Stanley" are probably A W Cox and A R Cox.
