BERNARD `POP` GREENOn 23rd/24th March 1944, 76 Airmen escaped from POW camp Stalag Luft 3 at Sagan in Poland. Their escape through the tunnel `Harry` and the story of the days that followed became known as `The Great Escape` and has now become part of British folklore.Bernard Green was born in Bourne End, Buckinghamshire on 23rd December 1887.He was educated at Clifton College, London University and Cambridge University.At the outbreak of war in 1914 Bernard joined the Royal East Kent Rifles as a private.He was subsequently commissioned into the Buckinghamshire Battalion of the Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire light Infantry as a Second Lieutenant in June 1914.In 1917 he was mentioned in despatches, and in 1918 was awarded the Military Cross. He became a specialist machine-gunner, and when he resigned his commission in 1920 he was granted the rank of Major, although modestly it was a title that he very rarely used. Between the war years he worked for the family paper making firm, and in 1926 became a Special Constable, eventually achieving a long service medal.In 1939 at the outbreak of the Second World War Bernard Green applied for a commission as an officer air gunner with the RAF Volunteer Reserve. In December 1939 he took up active service as Pilot Officer 76904, at the RAF Number 3 Bomb Gunnery School.It`s not clear why, in July 1940, at the age of 53 Bernard took up a place as rear gunner on a Hampden bomber. The plane was flying out of R A F Waddington with 44th Squadron on a mine laying mission. It may have been due to shortage of men or his strong sense of duty and loyalty to his squadron. In the early hours of 20th July the Hampden was hit by flak off the coast of Denmark and ditched into the sea in Tannis Bay, 300-400 metres off shore at Kandestederne. Two of the crew perished, but P/O Green and P/S Farrands survived and swam ashore. Later that morning Bernard Green came into contact with a party of local peat cutters and refused the opportunity of concealment from the enemy, as he knew what the consequences would be for his rescuers if found. A unit of German soldiers had been alerted and soon arrived to collect him.Bernard Green was sent to Dulag Luft in Oberursel where he was interrogated and then sent on to Stalag Luft 1 at Barth. Subsequently he was moved to Stalag Luft 3 at Sagan, in Poland.It seems that Bernard Green took a very active part in the daily operations of escape work at Stalag Luft 3. He was a popular character and would have been a father figure to the majority of the much younger men, hence his nickname `Pop`. He was certainly known to have acted as a `penguin` in distributing the waste soil over the compound as tunnel `Harry` took shape. The events of the Great Escape have been well documented and are known to many through John Sturges` classic film. One fact that many are not aware of is that there was thick snow on the ground in that part of Poland in March 1944. Green and others did make their escape after overcoming the shortfall of the tunnel and gathered with a group of about twelve others all dressed as Czech workmen. They walked for some distance through the woods in thick snow and eventually made their way to a railway station south of Sagan. It was from there that they travelled about fifty miles and alighted from the train just short of Hirschberg.Continuing on foot and approaching a village that was impassable because of heavy snow in the fields, Bernard Green was captured by a German soldier as walked straight through the village.Flight Lieutenant Green as he was now known following promotion, was eventually taken back to Stalag Luft 3 and spent 14 days in the "cooler". Sadly, as is well known, many of the escapees were not so lucky. Bernard Green spent the rest of the war at Sagan. At 57 years old he was surely the oldest of the men who attempted such a brave escape.In 1947 Flight Lt Green was mentioned in despatches as published in The London Gazette on 7th January. In June 1963 Bernard and his wife attended the World charity film premiere of `The Great Escape` at the Odeon Theatre, Leicester Square.He died following ill health on 2nd November 1971.

Nidd Valley Light Railway whole Edmondson Ticket from Pateley Bridge to Ramsgill. Date stamped on the rear '07 SEP 12' the ticket is indeed numbered 001 so was absolutely the first ticket ever issued for this journey. Discovered loose in an old Stanley Gibbons Album of Arms, Crests & Monograms, it was fortunate the vendor found it for it had, at one time been pasted in the inside cover and somehow became detached. This is known because there is a hand written inscription on the inside cover that reads:- 'This ticket was the first to be paid for on the opening of the N.V. Light Railway Sep 12th 1907'. The railway was operated by Bradford Corporation and was closed on 31st December 1929 to passengers but was still used for another six years for goods. An amazing survivor from this short-lived little railway. The ticket has been re-attached to the first page of the album in a clear sleeve to show where it was kept over the years. The album accompanies of course.
