Possible POW letter?

[Louis]

I found this letter that has German, English, French, and Italian printing but only French handwriting. Kriegsgefangenensenfung, war captive sending? Anyway the soldier ( who is named!!!!!!) talks about how he revived his parents cans of food and wants more (greedy bugger!) he also asks for 2 shirts, 2 pairs of underwear, a jumper, some socks, and a Russian hat that can be turned into a cap. Might I add that he requests that they no longer send him mint alcohol. He also adds that they don’t need to send him money as he is making some. And the kicker? The letter is sent from Dülmen camp near the Dutch border. His name is Léon Bayle obviously a smart guy because he had no spelling mistakes!

Very interesting, looks to be a French POW writing home to his parents.

Louis,
I always appreciate seeing letters sent by soldiers home. Allied POWs often had to rely on their family to send them clothes and food. Thanks for posting and translating for us.
Best regards
John
