207471 Cpl. Gerald Quinn Australian Army 2/11th (City of Perth) Infantry Battalion from:Mt Lawley, WA, Australia I have very little to go by but want to piece together dad's experiences during WWII. Like so many soldiers, from that era dad never discussed the war with us at all and, silly us, we never thought to ask him. All I know is he was captured by the Germans in Crete and spent the remainder of the war in a Stalag prison camp and hospital. Dad had a serious leg wound and the Germans wanted to amputate his leg but an Australian doctor (Dr Le Suife?) saved dad's leg. One of the prisoner's in the hospital with Dad wrote some funny little poems (about the Gerries) in a tiny little notebook of Dad's. Dad suffered nightmares of the war for many, many years following. I believe he had also been sent to Egypt. He passed away 10 years go.
