And also;
On Sunday Admiral von Reuter was informed by Admiral Fremantle that he must consider himself a prisoner-of-war for having violated the armistice.
This was a traitorous act, the British Admiral said, but it was not the first the British had witnessed. Admiral von Reuter accepted the responsibility and said he had done what any British sailor would have done and would do the same over again in the same circumstances.
Admiral von Reuter and his comrades on Tuesday detrained at Gobowen. There were two trains, each carrying 30 officers and 400 men, closely guarded by the Gordon Highlanders.
Admiral von Reuter was motored to Park Hall Camp, Oswestry, where he is under close arrest.
The men were marched through the village to Henlle Camp, adjoining Park Hall Camp, 10 minutes from Gobowen, still led by their officers and under strong local guard of the Royal Defence Corps, which reinforced the Highlanders.
