THE GREAT ESCAPE is a movie about men escaping from a prisoner-ofwar
camp in World War II. The Great Escape of this book is the
story of mankind’s escaping from deprivation and early death, of how
people have managed to make their lives better, and led the way for
others to follow.
One of those lives was my father’s. Leslie Harold Deaton was born
in 1918 in a tough coal-mining village called Thurcroft in the South
Yorkshire coalfi eld. His grandparents Alice and Thomas had given up
agricultural labor in the hope of doing better in the new mine. Their
eldest son, my grandfather Harold, fought in World War I, returned
to the “pit,†and eventually became a supervisor. For my father, it was
diffi cult to become educated in Thurcroft between the wars because
only a few children were allowed to go to high school. Leslie took odd
jobs at the pit; like the other boys, his ambition was that, one day, he
would get the chance to work at the face. He never made it; he was
drafted into the army in 1939 and sent to France as part of the ill-fated
British Expeditionary Force. After that debacle, he was sent to
Scotland to be trained to be a commando; there he met my mother
and was “fortunate†enough to be invalided out of the army with tuberculosis and sent to a sanitarium. Fortunate because the commando
raid on Norway was a failure, and he would almost certainly
have died. He was demobilized in 1942 and married my mother, Lily
Wood, the daughter of a carpenter in the town of Galashiels in the
south of Scotland. |
