Lance-Corporal James Sharp, Black Watch, the well-known Dundee, Chelsea, Fulham, and Scottish International footballer, is officially notified as wounded and a prisoner of war in Germany.
His parents, who reside at Park Avenue, Dundee, have received word to that effect.
For some time back much anxiety had been as to Jimmy’s fate. He has been in France with the Black Watch for a considerable time.
