Informant; Private: 2922 Victor Harold MACKIE I have heard Captain: Wilfred Frank HINTON (33rd Battalion
A Company) speak about Captain: Charles Henry LINKLATER (33rd Battalion C Company) who was missing one night. Some of our men
went out to take a strong point and got into difficulties. Captain: LINKLATER went out to find them and was lost. We all think he must be a prisoner.
I was not there myself and can not give the date or place.
