N2  - "My German Prisons" by Horace Gray Gilliland is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The narrative details the author's harrowing experiences as a British officer and prisoner of war during World War I, specifically focusing on his two and a half years in German captivity. Throughout the book, readers encounter Gilliland's personal reflections on the brutal treatment of prisoners, the conditions they faced, and the psychological strains of war and confinement.  At the start of the narrative, Gilliland offers a vivid recounting of his capture during a battle aimed at retaking trenches near La Bassée during heavy artillery fire and storms. Severely wounded in the conflict, he displays remarkable resilience and leadership despite his injuries. After enduring the trauma of being taken prisoner and witnessing the merciless treatment of his fellow soldiers, Gilliland shares moments—from the immediate chaos of battle to the grim realities of camp life—that offer readers insight into the harshness of war and the indomitable spirit of those who were forced to endure such suffering.
