Robert Bridgman after Return from Captivity by Bandits
-
Caption
-
Mr. Bridgman as he returned to us from Bandit Land. He and Mr. Din got off easy compared with what others have suffered. There was no torture for money, only lack of fresh air in the Rice Bin and vermin everywhere. It was local robbers not one of the big gangs that got them and held them. Yours, Rob.
