The Long Way Round: Escape Through Occupied France (1988) By William Moore
A fugitive soldier travelling through occupied territory naturally tries to make himself as inconspicuous as possible. Imagine therefore the problems which faced Lt. Richard Broad of the Seaforth Highlanders who in June 1940, found himself in occupied France in charge of seven ruddy-faced Scotsmen not one of whom could speak a word of French, indeed even their 'English' was inconmprehensible to such Frenchmen as spoke the language! However, as this unusual book proves beyond question Richard Broad was not a man to be deterred by such handicaps.
