George Beck: January 31, 1945

This is the first time since Sunday I’ve been able to write for I've been terribly ill, its bronchial trouble. Thank the Lord I haven't to go on the march for I would not last it, since my operation I'm a broken man. This is the last part of journey and I pray to God that everything will come out O.K. Anytime now shells may be flying round here. Roll on. Latest report from men that have been on the march. Capt. Robertson M.O. dead by the way side. One German woman took in eighty four sick men till volunteers came out from here.

—George Beck,1st Battalion The Duke of Wellington's Regiment, prisoner of war (diary)
