L/Cpl Francis Edgar Newman
British Army 4th Queens Own Hussars
My father, Francis Edgar Newman, 1905 - 1984 was a POW.
Records from the International Red Cross show he was captured by the Germans at Corinthe in 1941. He arrived at Stalag XVIIID on 5th July 1941 having been transported from Saloniki, Greece. He then ended up in Stalag XVIIIA on 25th July 1941 and so far as I know, he was there until 1945.
