George Beck: November 2, 1943
Since yesterday afternoon I have been going mad with stomach pains, walking about all last night for I couldn’t sleep, vomiting terrible in fact I thought my time had come. Taking bicarbonate of soda, cascara tablets, magnesia and God knows what. Now ten o’clock at night and just getting relief. Latest news “Russian troops are only 100 miles from Rumania. In Italy the Germans are retiring to the heights, no wagons available here for wood.
—George Beck,1st Battalion The Duke of Wellington's Regiment, prisoner of war (diary)
