Reid" and his prisoner number "26502" at the lower left, reverse is dated January 24, 1943, with the personalized message in pencil stating "Dear Pop how the devil is everybody feeling these fine days? I hope everybody is well. I am leaving the hospital Monday in the best of health. I have not had any mail from Canada up to now. Did everybody have their arms broken or is their sickness at home. Lots of love from your Son. Tom". Extremely fine. Accompanied by a 215 mm x 267 mm screen-printed on cloth colour photograph of Reid in his Legion jacket with "X POW" visible on his personalized Ontario licence plate, inscribed in black ink "Tom Reid B68053 R.R. of Can. to my friend Jerry / X. POW #26502. Captured at Dieppe, France Aug. 1942", along with a photocopied newspaper article entitled "UNTOUCHED AT DIEPPE / PTE. T. REID PRISONER / Letter First Word Since Reported Missing".
Footnote: Private Thomas Reid, Royal Regiment of Canada, enlisted at No. 2 District Depot in Toronto, Ontario. He survived the Dieppe Raid, however, he was taken captive by German troops and imprisoned at a German prison camp, Stalag VIII. The newspaper article states: " "Don't worry - everything is fine. I came through the Dieppe raid without a scratch. Write lots of letters and postcards and get the whole family to. Get in touch with the Red Cross and see what things I will need here. So wrote Pte. Thomas Reid, 21, from a prison camp in Germany to his wife, Mrs. Florence Reid, Stephenson Ave. The letter was the first word the family had of Pte. Reid from the time he was first reported missing after the raid on Dieppe, his sister Lillian Reid, said. His Father, Thomas Reid, Stephenson Ave., has in a wheelchair since he was wounded overseas in the last war. Pte. Reid's brother, Henry Reid, is with the Royal Canadian Navy." Private Reid was liberated from the camp after the war and returned to Canada.(C:28)
