Private Frost, who was 28 years of age, had been in the army about four years and four months. He served in India for about 12 months when war broke out, and he accompanied his regiment to France, where he has seen a good deal of fighting. In India he contracted malarial fever, and while in France he had a recurrence of the trouble. About October last [1916] he was missing for about 18 weeks, and for a considerable time no definite news recieved from him. His mother has since been given to understand that, owing to illness and loss of memory, he had been wandering about, and did not know where he was or what he was doing. Later he wrote home saying he was much better.
