The late winter of 1917 found him in the German concentration camp near Cassel, and in December of that same year he was sent with twenty other prisoners to a work camp near Bebra a few miles away. John found himself cutting wood in a gang with three Canadians and a Frenchman named Emil, and those five men planned an escape. It took them from December to March to get ready. Most of the food sent them from home they gave away, to bribe their guards to get them things they needed a compass and a map of the territory. The rest of the food they boarded. By the sixth of March they had their plans perfected and were ready to make the break.

In the meantime, Emil, the Frenchman, had received a letter from home saying that his wife was very ill. He begged to be allowed to go and the others consented. When the lots were drawn John Meehan, Emil and Jack Burman. one of the Canadians, were the ones chosen to make the attempt Each night the prisoners were locked in their huts, leaving their shoes outside the door. Regularly at eight oclock a guard of two soldiers made the rounds. On tills night, as they opened the door to check the occupants of the hut John lived in, a fight started between two of the Canadians. One guard stepped Inside to stop It. Someone tripped him. ne went down, yelling for the other guard. As the other guard came In the door there was a crash of broken crockery. In an instanL both guards and both Canadians were rolling together on the floor.
