November 27, around 5 o'clock in the evening after a violent bombardment of two hours in a front line trench, while we were finishing the soup, Germans fed into the trench, took me prisoner with two other comrades . I took advantage of a rush to escape from the hands of Germans. I followed my comrades, and subsequantly, I was accused of abandonment of position in the presence of the enemy. Last night, 24 of us went to the war council Six were sentenced to death including me. I die innocent of the crime of abandonment of position which is reproached me. If instead of escape the Germans, I had remained prisoner I would still be alive. This is fatality.
