An autograph in my mother's Autograph Album written by a German POW working on my Grandfather's farm in Flinshire in 1919. Translation: He who wants to gather roses, mustn't be afraid of the thorns! He who wants to be happy in love must be very modest! (Question: Did Friedrich have a soft spot for my mother?) Far from home , in the land of the Welsh I found friends. God bless the bond. My Grandmother's brother was killed by the Germans in June 1917, yet she was able to befriend this German POW. I'm grateful for that.
