... The following is an untouched account of the sports organised by prisoners of war in Germany and sent by Lieutenant B. D. Oldman, K.O.Y.L.I., the sports officer.

... NUTS are not very widely cultivated, and the nut harvest, beginning between August 25 and September 5 and end ing about Michaelmas, coincides with the gathering of late plums and the earlier apples and pears, so it receives little publicity. How ever, since meat is strictly rationed and nuts are extremely rich in protein, the crop now has a special interest. The nuts here being harvested, ...
