First printed in 1930 as the second edition of a 1920 original,
this book tells the exciting story of twenty nine British officers
imprisoned by the Germans during WWI in the Holzminden
prisoner-of-war camp, who escaped through a tunnel on the night of
23-24 July 1918. Durnford, who was a witness to many of the events
described and interviewed many of the surviving escapees, writes in
a relaxed and subjective style that is easy to read and engrossing.
This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in 'this
simple tale of a strategically unimportant but highly successful
sideshow, in Germany, in the dog days of 1918'.
