Thomas Duke Glenn died in 2000 having lived a full and eventful life. He also left behind two books that turned out to be his diaries from his time as a prisoner of war in World War II. Tommy’s daughter-in-law, Rosamund Glenn spent several years painstakingly typing up the pencil-written diaries. With the help of Tommy’s grandson, Rod Glenn, they compiled the P.O.W. Wartime Log of F/Sgt T.D.Glenn. The diary contains the unique personal account of Tommy’s life from the day he was shot down to the day he returned to England, including scanned images of his drawings and sketches, photos of the crew and of the graves of the two men who died. Tragic, funny and heart-breaking in turns, this is a moving insight into an ordinary man’s mind as he struggles to cope with the physical and mental pressures of enforced captivity.
