Foreign Field Costumed Talks

The Prisoner of War

We can provide a 45 minute talk featuring the experiences and conditions of the Allied Prisoner of War.

There were allied prisoners taken in every theatre of operation and suffered a range of conditions at the hands of Axis forces, particularly at the hands of the Japanese.

   

This talk and demonstration will cover a multitude of points regarding the prisoner, all having been researched from the testimonies of veteran POWs. Examples of these are below:

  • What was the routine?
  • What were the Greatest Escapes?
  • Who made the first "Home Run"?
  • How would prisoners be treated?
  • How were escaped prisoners helped?
  • What was MI9?

Following the talk our demostrator will take questions and queries.

   

Foreign Field can provide in-depth detailed talks and demonstrations on the history of men and women in conflict, throughout the ages in both military and civillian settings.

Costumed talks and demonstrations can be dopne more than once per day and are ideal for school visits and small museums or as individual displays in shows..

A day of talks and demonstrations such as those detailed here costs £150 plus travel..
