Books, Manuscripts
Of all the daring PoW escape stories that have come to light in the last 100 years and immortalised by Steve McQueen in the film 'The Great Escape', the story of J.L. Hardy has to be one of the most remarkable. A PoW for three-and-a-half years, Hardy made no less than 12 escape attempts while imprisoned by the Germans in the First World War, five of which being successful.
