Diary Entry of a Prisoner of War
Prisoner of war diary entry

19th of April 1941 marks my second in year in this prisoner of war camp, I managed to gather a pen and paper from a guard to write this diary entry. I am very scared and I wonder how my father is going as it is his birthday tomorrow and I haven’t seen him for actually I can’t even remember the last time I saw him it was that long ago.
This camp is like death; they are making me work day and night, getting up at 4 in the morning and not getting back to bed until at least 11 with very little food throughout the day, I can never remember being this hungry. I am exhausted and I don’t think I can take it much longer but I am hanging in there with the hope of seeing my family again. I have tried to escape from this torture with a mate named Sargent Park one time last year to try and get back with our beloved families but that was a big mistake. Sargent Park and I dug a huge tunnel under the brick wall that outlines the tortures camp with bad memories. With the completion of the tunnel Sargent Park and I were so excited to finally escape, so as we were crawling our way through the 358m tunnel that took Sargent Park and I seven months to dig with very little energy that we had. At the end of the tunnel Sargent Park popped his head up and there was attack dogs securing the outter walls of the jail and they killed Sargent

    On the first day, within the first twenty minutes, two men tried to pass off as Russians who were allowed out of the camp to cut down trees while others hid in the trucks full of trees. None of them escaped, but it showed how witty, adventurous and desperate those men were. Another man, Capt. Hilts, one of three Americans at the camp, stepped across the warning wire where we had tossed his baseball to check out a blind spot between the guard towers. His feet were shot at and then he was sent to the cooler, an isolation cell, along with Ives ‘The Mole’, one of the men who attempted escape on…

    Hello Mother and Father how are you doing? I haven’t been doing too well in the trenches. As you know I have been assisting the French in the trenches for nearly two years. The trenches are horrendous; I never thought I would be more petrified at the horrific conditions than the actual war. Every day we face rats, hundreds of millions of rats, scurrying through the trenches. Since we don’t have a proper waste disposal system, the rats eat the trash that lay on the floor and the soldiers who have died in combat. It’s a gruesome sight, watching a fallen solder’s surrounded by flies and the rats consume the decaying corpses. Trench foot is almost just as bad, a couple of my closest friends have died from it. They told us that we developed trench foot from standing…
