When the Italians declared an armistice in September 1943, he escaped to make his way across Italy to the American lines.

In December 1943 he was transferred for medical duties to a Stalag of about 1,200 men on the German-Polish Border. As he was the only officer, he had not only the responsibility of sole command but also the anxiety of an epidemic of typhus in the neighbouring Russian Stalag. It is greatly to his credit that no case occurred among his men. All the prisoners were then marched ahead of the Russian advance to Bayreuth with Captain James shepherding them. One prisoner said, “If we walked a thousand miles, the captain walked three.” At Bayreuth they were herded into the railway yards, which the Allies were bombing incessantly, and casualties were mounting daily, until they were liberated by General Patton’s advance. Bill James returned home to take over, single-handed, his father’s rural practice in Mid-Wales. He was a member of the Edinburgh University Rugby XV.

The fixed ritual each day was lunch, where the four consultants met round a huge table spread with a crisp white cloth, in the middle of which stood a large silver cup, awarded to the hospital farm for pig breeding.” Dr Lodge Patch took pride in his work of transforming the hospital over the next twenty five years, with the development of an energetic postgraduate programmefor junior doctors, the improvement of patient care and the reduction of patient numbers.
