No Medals No Pension: John Moriarty 1RB (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798343397789)

On 15th November 1939 aged 18 John Moriarty was conscripted into the Rifle Brigade. Six months later he was in Calais fighting for his life. Surviving the Fall of Calais he was marched into captivity. But John had no intention of spending the rest of the war as slave labour for the Third Reich so despite the risk he planned his escape. Initially he wasn't successful, but as the Soviets advanced in January 1945, and the Germans marched the POWs westward on the infamous death marches, John saw another chance to escape.

No Medal No Pension is the story of one man who refused to accept defeat and who's message to us all is that we must remember our history otherwise we will repeat it.
