George Beck: August 27, 1943
No news regarding war. Still off work sick. This last week we have had an old guard with us while the other was on leave. He goes back on Monday to the company and we shall be sorry to lose him. He’s a real toff and been wounded in four places in Russia, lost his teeth with frostbite. If anyone is pro-British its him, can speak English too. Today I wrote two letters to Alice, as I couldn’t write a fortnight ago. Roll on more. The war has been on 4 years next Saturday.
—George Beck,1st Battalion The Duke of Wellington's Regiment, prisoner of war (diary)
