George Beck: August 3, 1941
Today as I sit here on the grass I just can’t help my thoughts straying back to the old homeland. Lovely weather like this brings back memories, it seems I must be fated to spend my time out of England. Being here is just like being cut off from the outside world, and it makes one realise just how much home means to him. All I can say is “roll on”. May the day of unity be fast approaching for us all.
—George Beck,1st Battalion The Duke of Wellington's Regiment, prisoner of war (diary)
