His time as a POW wasn't easy and he said he often attended funerals due to the poor conditions in which they were kept. Although he learnt German as a POW he refused to speak a word after his release. Unfortunately he sold his 1914 star to a medal collector in the 1930s so his WW1 medal trio is incomplete. He was also awarded the LSGC medal. If anyone knows the whereabouts of his 1914 star I would be most interested in acquiring it. Don McLeod Add to this record. 245302 Pte. Frank Munkman 4th Btn.
