When he was 16, his country was invaded by the Germans. When he turned 18, he was required to go to a compulsory labour camp. Often hungry, he survived having the camp bombed by the American air force, then was liberated when his guards fled before the advancing Russians would have captured them.

Years earlier, he had given his old Kirkfield classmate, Pat Burns, a contact to supply meat to feed railway workers.
