The hole -- the nickname for the underground tunnel at Fort Southwick 1944 -- better to die like rats in a hole -? than? Round and round like rats in a cage. Joining Caught like rats in a trap. Die like rats in a hole. I am tired to death. I am tired out of my wits. Joining. Tired out and scared out of my wits. Tired to death and scared out of my wits. Scared of death. I am tired out of my skin. Joining. Tired to death and jumped out of my skin. Bishop M. March 66 The subject, the name of the artist and the date are inscribed by Edward Adamson on the verso
