Notes

"In July 1942, with a notebook and pencil he had bought from a German guard, Dudley Muff started a very special diary. Dudley was 42 and a prisoner of war in Stalag XVIIIB in Germany when he wrote this diary for his niece, Alison, who was four and living in Timaru. With humorous entries, sketches and what he called "little men", Dudley's story grew unti it became an unbelievable account of his time served in two prisoner-of-war camps. Miraculously, the diary survived the war and now serves as a poignant account of one New Zealand soldier's determination to survive at all costs." -- Back cover.
