I wonder if it's a record of parcels as crate is used twice and bulky.

Is there any clue from the photo, subject matter and date?

Photo is of George Samuel and he was a prisoner of war in Germany

He is seen with boxing gloves

They seem to be alternative answers to a puzzle

"boar crate and burly" OR "bear crate and bulky"

Could it be code, planning an escape, giving details to someone at home.

Like Sinann, I wondered if it was some sort of code
