A first hand account of the adventure turned sour for the men of the 51st Highland Division in France 1945. Rounded up after being ordered to surrender at St Valery-en-Caux, the brave Scots were destined to spend the rest of the War in Nazi prison camps. In Morrison's case, this was Stalag XXA (Thorn) in Poland. His account of this considerable void in his early 20s is non-sentimental and non-heroic and reminds the current generation of the privation and hardship undergone by our grandfathers to rid Europe of fascism.
