After seven weeks of training, we see him joining with the 2nd/5th Battalion Leicester, and his capture when he found himself facing the might of the German army with nothing but a few rounds in his pouch. tratando-se duma história pessoal que ocorreu durante a segunda grande guerra, julgo que será difícil encontrar factos capazes de a corroborar ou contrariar.
