Additional Comments:
Jones twice records receiving parcels of books in the post (on 20 June and 10 September 1918), but does not record the sender(s). These books could have been sent by the Camps Library, the Prisoner of War Books Scheme, or the British Red Cross. Alternatively, he could have borrowed books from other prisoners or from the Sennelager camp library.
