23445

Updated: October 8, 2025

I might die under it! And my people would never know "Died Prisoner of War No. 23445, Pte. M. C. Simmons" that is all they would see in the casualty list, and it would not cause a ripple of excitement here. The guard would go back for another one, and a stretcher... I shouldn't be much of a carry, either! Then I stood up and shook my fist at the door, including the whole German nation!
