Burns must be terrible things to have, what a very brave man, especially going back to sea again knowing that the same thing could happen again. People like him gave themselves to the defence of our country, how very lucky we are , that there were people like him willing to do what he did.

RE: Tomorrow’s we continue John’s amazing journey; hearing how the kindness of a German naval officer inadvertently led to his incarceration in Germany – and how he and his fellow POWs were housed alongside concentration camp-bound Jewish men.

I do hope part two will be added, remarkable.
a different breed of men.

A very interesting story John made a great read. Another unsung hero of yesterday that saved this nation from tyranny. Thanks for sharing. Look forward to part 2.

Thoughts are with all, that went through so much,
for us. A different breed of men.

Hi John A
I remember reading about this many years ago and was appalled at his treatment by the Germans. Even more so by the British when they not only stopped his mothers pension, but made her pay back arrears.
Cheers Des
