I couldn't see the rest of my group anymore.
-
So I walked on in this ditch and then into another ditch.
-
In the meantime I heard the Germans were gathering, I could hear their horses.
-
I went to the left, I went to the right and eventually stopped where I was.
-
I sat down near an elm and heard the belltower of Barco.
-
It was one o'clock, half past one, two o'clock.
-
With the dawning daylight I saw there was a house nearby and went there.
-
There were no watchdogs, so I went to the window of the house
-
and saw an old lady with a stick lighting the fire.
-
I looked around and slowly slowly ...
-
At that time the peasants did not lock their doors as they do today,
-
they left the door open to go to the stable.
-
I knocked at the door and called: "Grandma! Grandma!"
-
When she saw me she got scared and fell off the chair she was sitting on.
-
I tried to pick her up and the daughter came down asking what was going on.
-
I said: "Nothing, nothing".
-
She said: "We heard shooting, we heard noises, what's going on?"
-
"Nothing, now, we’ll take care of your grandma and then we'll see."
-
I had long hair and a long beard, I was wet from head to toes,
-
my clothes were freezing because I'd stayed outside in the cold all night.
