L/Cpl. David Armentieres Rowarth
British Army Duke of Cornwall's Light Infantry
from:Wittering
My father, David Rowarth, joined the DCLI in 1938 and was in India when WW2 broke out. He was also in Baghdad and in North Africa and was captured by the Italians then later transferred to the care of the Germans. I have some diaries kept by my father while captured. These include programmes and photographs of plays and pantomimes the prisoners put on.
