He was in Mecheria Camp ( 50 km south of Oran) and then in a prison in Saida Algeria (for attacking guard and stealing his rifle) Lots of mentions of escapes.  "Had we been POWS in Germany we would have gotten better treatment than we are getting from these filthy Frenchmen."  Opens with him in June Laghouat POW camp in Algeria, "foreign office wants to know how we were treated on road back from El Aricha", mention of POWS joining the French Foriegn Legion to get out of prison, he hears of raid on Dieppe.  Lots of disparaging remarks about the local Arabs.
