Greasley, Horace, 1918-20102019
Books, Manuscripts
Horace 'Jim' Greasley was 20 years old in the spring of 1939 when Adolf Hitler invaded Czechoslovakia. Horace's war didn't last long. He was taken prisoner on 25th May 1940 and forced to endure a 10-week march across France and Belgium en route to Holland. Horace survived - barely. After a three-day train journey without food and water, Horace found himself incarcerated in a prison camp in Poland. It was there he embarked on an incredible love affair with a German girl interpreting for his captors.
