Extract from the Rugby Advertiser, 21/2/41. MISSING SOLDIER A PRISONER, THURLASTON WIFE'S GOOD NEWS.
With the news, received by |Mrs Lee, Thurlaston, that her husband, Mr Alfred Lee, of the Corps of Military Police, is a prisoner of war in Germany, it is now established that all the missing soldiers of the Dunchurch and Thurlaston district are safe. Mrs Lee, heard on Friday, by postcard, that her husband is "still well," indicating that he had probably written previously. As this was the first communication she had received from him since the Dunkirk evacuation, friends have heartily congratulated the family on the news, for, in the long silence, it had been feared that he had been killed. Son of Mr and Mrs T Lee, halfway houses, Dunchurch, he was an AA Scout before the war and immediately joined up in the Military Police. The last the family heard of him was that he had been seen riding his motorcycle at Dunkirk during the BEF evacuation .
