Notă biografică

Sydney Litherland was called to the military in 1940 where, as an architecture student, he joined the technical services unit of Royal Engineers. In 1941 he went to Greece as part of the expeditionary force sent to bolster Greek resistance. When this collapsed, his unit was evacuated to Crete. The German airborne invasion took the island and Sydney became a POW. These new POWs were sent to camps in Germany by train via a holding station in Salonika. Because Sydney had been taken prisoner before his OCTU training, he was sent with all the other ranks to a series of working camps, first around Berlin, then around Torgau. Sydney died in 2012, shortly after correcting the proofs of this book.
