Long march to freedom

[Warden]

This was featured on BBC Radio 4 this morning.

Fantastic way to start the day listening to the veterans and their families.

This week, a group, including relatives of the survivors and young RAF recruits, retrace the 1,000-mile march which followed the evacuation of the Great Escape camp, Stalag Luft III, and which resulted in the death of 200 POWs.
