One night Billy was walking down a road balling his eyes out then Billy got a big fright when, a guy jumped out, grabbed Billy and took him to a dark, damp place.

Once he arrived there they took him into a room cut his hair off and forced him to wear striped pyjamas.

Time had passed and Billy became weak and ill. One day Billy fell to the ground and passed away in 1944. It was a sad ending to a life.
