Letter, from Bernhard Koch, London, England to Lothar Markiewicz, Tatura, Australia, 28 September 1941. Mr. Koch, a fellow internee of Hay and Tatura writes to Lothar with news of his return to England, reunion with his wife, and new home in London. Koch informs him of the recent attempts by Lothar’s friends to secure his return to England, as he will soon be release from the Tatura camp in Australia. Lothar’s Headmaster, A.R Wallace has been in touch with the Bishop of Chichester, and Mrs Atkinson has talked to the Home Office seeking information about Lothar’s return to England. Koch continues that while many of their ‘comrades’ of the camp have returned to England, they are still on the Isle of Man. Koch also states that finding employment is difficult currently, and he shares his house with other former internees attempting to reestablish themselves. The letter concludes requests from Bernhard asking Lothar how their friends are, and deliver Koch’s news to their friends at the Tatura camp. |
