Geriaviator (pp Rupert Parkhouse #9992),
One aspect that Rupert has not touched on - his return to the UK must surely have been cushioned by the five year's Back Pay (what deductions did the Germans make ? - I seem to recall that our old pal Fredjhh [RIP] had to pay for being scalped by the Camp Barber).
Even so, would've thought there was a nice little nest-egg waiting for him !
Danny.
