" This is one of the best tales of adventures of prisoners of war, partly because the author was in the keeping of the notorious Captain Niemeyer at Holzminden, and partly he took part in digging the famous tunnel, by which twenty-nine prisoners escaped, of whom ten got across the frontier. Mr. Durnford was not one of the escapers, but he subsequently got away from another camp and crossed the Danish frontier by train. ".

Durnford was a witness to many of the events described and interviewed many of the surviving escapees for this book. The book is bound in the original grey cloth covered boards with red titling on the spine and front board.
