Tuck wrote of the cruelty he experienced from guards



Some Channel Island prisoners were shackled and packed in windowless cattle trucks with other sick and starving prisoners

Tuck wrote of the cruelty he experienced from guards: "I (was) kicked and knocked down and beaten with a pick handle and flogged with the butt of a rifle."

Herbert Smith was the only one of the policemen to die overseas.

Tuck recounts that Smith was "deprived of food and clothes when it was terribly cold… and beaten with a shovel and a pickaxe in the stomach" and left to die in a Gestapo prison.

When Charles Friend was liberated by US forces he weighed only seven stone (45kg) and was unable to use his legs.
