This week in our long running series BEGGAR ME! I'M A PRISONER we are still covering escapes - this time the methods of actually breaking out! These chaps were jolly ingenious - and brave! Please listen and share! Thanks! https://t.co/WgWZ2zU6RE

Our latest episode in the Beggar Me POW series reaches the qestion of escape. Only a small proportion had the energy and motivation to try it - after all it was dangerous - but those that did tried and tried again! please listen & share! Thanks! https://t.co/THEefnxY0W

If you weren't an officer then POW Camps meant 'Working, working, always bloody well working'. It was hard graft in factories and mines, but a little easier 'down on the farm'. Our latest podcast in the Beggar Me series. Please share! Thanks! https://t.co/I88AYZ2TMo

[Pete and Gary's Military History @HartMilitary]
