George Beck: October 1, 1943
Today’s German news "Naples occupied by the Germans has had its port and harbour destroyed to prevent the landing of our troops". It appears we are landing fresh troops all over and they admit the superiority of our troops and the large numbers we have there. Roll on. Sometimes I think this war is never going to end, poor old Alice back there, wish we weren’t wed now for her sake.
—George Beck,1st Battalion The Duke of Wellington's Regiment, prisoner of war (diary)
