seaforths Posted 8 February , 2015 Share Posted 8 February , 2015 You might also find the following book useful - 'Escape of Princess Pat'. It is available as a free download here: https://archive.org/details/princesspat00pearuoft I think his account starts from around 20th April up to what he calls the 'Last Stand' on the 8th May.
