SERGEANT ADKINS TUNNINGLEY

News has reached Mrs. Tunningley of Foundry Lane, Knottingley, that her husband, Sergeant Adkins Tunningley of the K.O.Y.L.I. is a prisoner at Darmstadt in Germany.  He is the son of Mr. George Tunningley of East View Knottingley and enlisted in September 1914.

He went out to France a year afterwards and has been through all the fighting on the Western Front.  He is a wounded prisoner of war.  His letter home is cheerful and he acknowledges that he and others in the hospital are well treated.  He encourages his wife and children (six young daughters) to be hopeful. The gallant sergeant had been slightly wounded previously at Loos.
