THE GREATEST

ESCAPE STORY

OF ALL

TIME

THE

WOODEN HORSE

BY

ERIC WILLIAMS

Two British officers, thinking of a way to escape

· from the notorious Stalag-Luft III, hit on the classical brainwave of the Trojan horse. Adapting the idea, they built a vaulting-horse, which the prisoners carried out each As the prisoners lined up day in full view of the guards. to practise vaulting, Inside the horse a man crouched hopefully to dig a 100 ft. long road to freedom.

Eric Williams was awarded the M.C. for his exploit. His story of the bold plan, with its difficulties and the constant fear of discovery; and, after escape, the harrowing adventures encountered in trying to get out of Germany, is the top best-seller of the season.

The Hongkong Telegraph has acquired the rights to publish the story in serial form.
