Alan Roberts looks at his life as a Skipton PoW. His credentials as an archaeologist were already impressive: an accomplished excavation of a Stone Age village in central Germany, a doctorate where he had studied the hair styles in ancient Greece, and a travel scholarship to the Mediterranean to conduct his own research.
