Uploaded to the Internet Archive with a file from the State Library of Victoria, Australia https://find.slv.vic.gov.au/permalink/61SLV_INST/1sev8ar/alma995588243607636 A note in the book file suggested this account was published c 1920. Chapter headings include At Cambrai Dulmen Camp Wulfrath Fredrichsfeld Camp Zelstote Paper Factory, Walsum (Cover wording is Zelstoff Paper Factory, Walsum. Zellstoff is perhaps the correct spelling as there is a present day German paper manufacturer with Zellstoff in the name ). The account states that the author was unsuccessful in escaping, but later was successful. His Army record indicates his name was Francis Hallihan, No. 162, 21st Battalion. He was repatriated to England 28.11.18. He was discharged as medically unfit in Australia 7.9.19. This Army record however does not contain a personal account of his time as a prisoner of war. https://recordsearch.naa.gov.au/SearchNRetrieve/Interface/ViewImage.aspx?B=4265038 The Australian War Memorial collection contains a Manuscript MSS1347, being a “Typescript copy of a reworked version of “In the Hands of the Enemy…” c 1941.
