All, a bit off message but one of you might be able to help. I have
informed Andrew that I am posting his email to our List.

>torture nowadays) and after some seven months in North Africa eventually 
>effected his escape by sailing a small boat from Algiers to Gibraltar a 
>voyage of some 700 miles.

>During his sojourn in Algeria he clearly gathered a considerable
quantity of information and his report to MI9 runs to some 20 points -
giving information on certain leads etc.

my father only spoke English and French. At one point however he did
forward messages for a Pole - so it could be in any language if he was
forwarding it for anyone else.
