George Beck: September 9, 1943

Today we had a visit from the other working party and had quite a decent chat. They have two new fellows and one of them was a journalist for the Telegraph and Star in Sheffield. He used to write the column 'Uncle Bob'. He gives us news that Italian prisoners are arriving in Lamsdorfe from Italy; it appears this is contrary to Geneva Convention. There are 14,000 prisoners altogether there and they’re sleeping on floors. Some razor slashing going on amongst them for a gang has formed. All the camp now is entirely run by British.

—George Beck,1st Battalion The Duke of Wellington's Regiment, prisoner of war (diary)
