Speaking to the
Argus about his experiences during the war as he celebrated his 100th birthday Mr Haynes said: “We were in a jeep when we came across a German soldier. He told us to put our hands up and we had no choice but to do so.” He, alongside his fellow soldiers, was held in Benghazi for a month where they endured scorching temperatures, as well as starvation and dehydration. The PoWs were then sent to Italy, before being crammed into cattle trucks headed for Nazi-occupied Poland. Mr Haynes said: It was awful. We all had to go to the toilet in the same place. There were 60 men in there. We were in there for three days and were all forced to be stood up.
