The true story of Major Hardy’s numerous escapes from German prisoner of war camps during the First World War, with a foreword by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle"Major Jocelyn Lee "Hoppy" Hardy DSO, MC with Bar, (10 June 1894 – 30 May 1958) was a British Army officer famed in Britain for his courage on the battlefield and repeated escapes from German prisoner of war camps during the First World War.
