Before discharge they were given cocks and . sweaters from the Red, Cross. In her interview, Nurse Middleton stated "I will never forget the under. - ground subway stations full of people it of all ages,. during air raids. They d lay in double -tier bunks and on cold' cement, clasping their belongings' in nt bags. The subway trains rushing - through every half hour created ter- rific draughts. She 'continued, "After sleepless d nights, the English housewife queued r up for hours to get her meagre ra- tions, 2 ounces of sugar per week, no meat, sometimes fish. It was hard to combat that grubby, gritty feeling due to very little soap, yet invariably she e and her thin children presented a neat trim appearance in their old clothes."

These prisoners wore in bad shape when captured. Their dressings were bits of paper, they had filo drugs and were generally so under -nourish- ed they fell on hardtack greedily, These men were very strictly discip- lined and seemed 'thankful for at- tention. Antwerp appeared to be the only part of Belgium badly damaged by buzz -bombs. In contrast with the British, the Belgians appeared well- dressed and well fed. On VE -day Nursing Sister Middle- ton, in company with other nurses going from Antwerp to Turnhaut, had their truck stopped by cheering crowds, who showered them with gar- lands of flowers, There were arches of cedar in the streets and the gala cele- bration continued for days.
