Lost in Crypt Three Weeks Without Food or Water
In Yorkshire at Wetherby a 66 year old Austrian born former commercial traveler named Thomas Speck was found emaciated and semi conscious after spending three weeks in a crypt beneath St James’ Church. He entered the vaults on New Year’s Eve seeking warmth and woke in darkness. Rescued and taken to the workhouse infirmary, he recalled a desperate bid for air and water, with local schoolchildren reporting a figure under the church days earlier.

Recommends repairing right bank forts, adding machine guns, observation posts, underground tunnels, and interconnecting trenches for rapid destruction.
