German Sergeant's Odd Testimonial During Somme Capture
A German sergeant served at a prison hospital in Germany where Paglok officers were held. Believing he would be captured on the Somme front, he asked English officers for a testimonial to gain gentler treatment. The officers found the idea amusing and gave him a note in English. At Somme, his captors mocked the note, joking that he was “not a bad sort of chap” and should be tortured slowly to death.
