He was sent to Canada atonce and was promptly discharged. I had a wifeand family awaiting me there and I wanted badlyto go to them by the next boat. My wife had beenreceiving letters from me during my fifteen monthsimprisonment; she had regularly received her separa-tion allowance; the Canadian Red Cross and manykind friends in London had been sending me pris-oner-of-war parcels for a year; the authorities ad-mitted my identity and my former comrades recog-nised me; I had fifteen months pay at $ a day,besides a subsistence allowance of sixty-five cents aday, coming to me; but could not draw a cent of it. 206.
