Thanks for posting the link Alan... a very moving and courageous story which put me in mind of my best pal at school's father. He was Polish and was captured twice in WWII, first by the Germans from who he escaped and then subsequently by the Russians who put him in a camp in Siberia. He escaped from there towards the end of the war and walked and otherwise travelled over a period of months to one of the Baltic ports from where he stowed away to the UK. Such extraordinary stories of courage and perseverance against all odds deserve to be told. RS
