Sowerbutt's Compassion

Sowerbutt nodded discreetly at Maggie, the attractive young manageress of the tea rooms, who helped out in Polly’s business occasionally to make ends meet for her large family.
Her soldier boyfriend had been captured by Belgian collaborators and handed over to the advancing Wehrmacht during the BEF’s chaotic retreat from Belgium. Some of the German divisions paid the equivalent of five pounds a head for every captured Allied soldier. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Colour-Lemon-Surrender-1940-ebook/dp/B008USR7FA
