A War Time Log by John Davies Jones
Shot down in September 1944, John Davies Jones spent the
next eight months as a Prisoner Of War in Germany. This compelling narrative, edited by his daughter, recounts not only the camaraderie between the POWs but also highlights the cold
and hunger of that bitter winter which culminated in the Long March as the
Russians approached. Fantasies and recipes for meals once he was back home are
interspersed with tales of the daily boredom of the camp, alongside highlights
of the entertainment and visitors they experienced. Never sure where their next
meal was coming from or when or if liberation would happen, John’s character
shines through the highs and the lows of an unforgettable time.
