"BROTHER BOSCH"

AN AIRMAN'S ESCAPE FROM GERMANY

BY

CAPTAIN KNIGHT, R.A.F.

1919
LONDON: WILLIAM HEINEMANN
_London: William Heinemann, 1919_

To the Memory of

CAPTAIN MORRITT,
LIEUT. MEDLICOTT,
LIEUT. WALTERS,

AND ALL OTHER OFFICERS, N.C.O.'S AND MEN,
WHO, BEING LESS FORTUNATE,
GAVE THEIR LIVES IN THE ENDEAVOUR.

Beloved Country! banished from thy shore,
A stranger in this prison house of clay,
The exiled spirit weeps and sighs for thee!
Heavenward the bright perfections I adore
Direct, and the sure promise cheers the way,
That, whither love aspires, there shall my dwelling be.

_Longfellow._

NOTE

"The spelling of the word 'Bosch' was the customary one in the German
prisoners' camps from which the author made his escape, and is
retained for the sake of local colour."
