HISTORICAL NOTE MISSING YOU highlights a prison camp known as K-Lines which existed in the Curragh in Eire for the internment of airmen, Allies and German. In this camp the internees were privileged to have pass- outs that enabled them to play golf on the nearby course, go to horse races, local dances and even to date the local girls. Because it was a privilege every man returned to the camp to honour the pass-out system. However, once back inside it was their duty to try and escape!
