Unpaid

A young British male, early 20's, who had been starved in a POW camp, and attempted to be recruited into the enemy army. 

  • [Commenting on the captivity conditions and events in captivity that this man endured for weeks. Bit shy and shaken still.](Speaking a little slower then usual)
    “Upon arrival, we were stripped, made to watch our uniforms get ripped to pieces, and then given a blanket to cover up with. Placed in a cell with just the blanket and fed just only 250 grams of bread and a pint of cabbage soup, we weren't allowed out except to empty the waste bucket. After two days I was taken before a so called American who asked for my name, number, and date of birth, then returned to to my cell. Left alone, a British POW would come in from time to time, offering cigarettes and conduct idle chit-chat. - John Eric Wilson”
