en- prisoners in France Lieut.. Tenney
kept a diary while he was prisoner,
which is interesting, in that he set down
many facts connected with the expe-
rienees suffered while in prison camp in
Germany. He has pictures taken of Off
GERS who were with him and picture of
an officers funeral. One of his associ-
ates died and the Germans gave him a
full military funeral. One of the inter-
estiRg things connected with the prison
was that with others he assisted Willis
and the other two men who escaped from
the camp one night, The story of their

was the holding of the bottom of the

capped: two were captured and three
made their way to Switzerland and back
