The camp they were staying in was called ‘Hell 1’.
Nobby was laid out with the dead. He was suffering from infectious hepatitus. He lay, for three days, unconscious on a miliatry aircraft. A passing American soldier saw a limb twitch and alerted the medical authorities. Nobby had been saved from being buried alive. He was transferred to a miitary hospital. Nobby was in a coma for two more days. When he came round the other patients on the ward were gathered around his bed. ‘We’ve been taking bets on your chances of recovery,’ one of them said. ‘Every man who has occupied that bed has ended up dead.’
They chatted and played cards but the food was bland and in short supply.
The days passed by.

Heard about this from the BBC. Interesting idea.
And in other news a ginger Tom invades Nobby’s flat:
Charming, cute and, quite simply, adorable.
