“Brother Bosch”
AN AIRMAN’S ESCAPE
FROM GERMANY
BY
CAPTAIN KNIGHT, R.A.F.
1919
LONDON: WILLIAM HEINEMANN
To the Memory of
CAPTAIN MORRITT,
LIEUT. MEDLICOTT,
LIEUT. WALTERS,
AND ALL OTHER OFFICERS, N.C.O.’S AND MEN,
WHO, BEING LESS FORTUNATE,
GAVE THEIR LIVES IN THE ENDEAVOUR.
Belovèd Country! banished from thy shore,
A stranger in this prison house of clay,
The exiled spirit weeps and sighs for thee!
Heavenward the bright perfections I adore
Direct, and the sure promise cheers the way,
That, whither love aspires, there shall my dwelling be.
Longfellow.
