However, this was the fate of a poor private we discovered there one day in terrific pain, siiffering from shrapnel in his stomach and back. All of us officers asked to have him sent to a hospital, but the doctors curtly refused, sa3dng it was against orders. So the poor creature went on suffering from day to day and was still there when I left, an- other victim of German cruelty. At one time in this prison-camp there were a French marine, a French flying of- ficer, and two Belgian soldiers, an...d of the United Kingdom one from Canada, two from England, three from Ireland, a couple from Scotland, one from Wales, a man from South Africa, one from Algeria, and a New-Zealander, the last being from my own squadron, a man whom I thought had been killed, and he was equally sur- prised, when brought into the prison, to find me there. In addition there were a Chinaman and myself from the U. S. A. It was quite a cosmopolitan group, and as one typical Irishman said, *'Sure, and we have every nation that's worth men- tioning, including the darn Germans, with us whites.'' Of course, this was not trans- 67 OUTWITTING THE HUN lated to the Germans, nor was it even spoken in their hearing, or we probably would not have had quite so cosmopolitan a bttnch.
