Hoping For News
The wife of Cpl. Harold Harrison, R.A.F., of whom nothing has been heard since he was reported by the Air Ministry and Red Cross to be a prisoner of the Japanese over a year ago, and from whom no word has been received since he was captured in March 1942, has written to the Vatican, under the auspices of the Red Cross in an attempt to get in touch with her husband.
Cpl. Harrison, who is 30, was reported to have been taken prisoner at the fall of Batavia in March 1942, and to be interned in Borneo. The second son of Mr and Mrs J. A. Harrison, 42, Grenfell Avenue, Mexborough, he joined the R.A.F. nine years ago as an equipment assistant, and had served in the Far East for three years.
His wife lives at Hucknall, near Nottingham. His two brothers, L/Cpl. Albert Harrison, R.E. (35) and Corporal Ronald Harrison R.A.F., (27), are serving with the C.M.F.
