Hide Ad100 YEARS AGO: Sussex Express 25 May 1917. German Soldier Labour. The Chairman said the War Office was so satisfied with the work of the German soldier prisoners at Lewes, of whom they now had 95, that they wanted to know if the Committee could take any more. The Committee wished to know if any more could be used in the Uckfield district. The farmer had to pay the officer at Lewes Naval Prison 5d per hour for an eight-hour day. They had to be sent out in groups of five with a guard, and could be sent to Uckfield by rail.
One farmer said that his men would not work with them.
It was pointed out as a disadvantage that the men had to work close together. Further that the time lost out of an eight-hour day in getting to and from the station was considerable if it had to be paid for, Subject to a satisfactory arrangement on this latter point being arrived at Mr J Knight of Park Farm, Maresfield, said that he would like to have five of the men.
