One Man's Story

Jack Straley, author of Mud Between Our Toes has collaborated with his sisters, Mary Boop and Wanda Lang to produce this effort. It is the story of one man, and his challenges and tribulations while in Prisoner of War camps during World War II.

This has been a labor of love and hopefully a continuing tribute to Mr. Hoard. We have tried to maintain accuracy as to how it was originally written and hopefully you will find it an interesting, educational history of this part of the war.
