Ronald William Dwyer

Australian Imperial Force 2/8th Battalion

My Grandfather was in 2/8th Battalion Australian Imperial Force. Ronald William Dwyer, also known as "Dick", service no.VX6410. He was held in Stalag 8b, and according to his service record was there for 4 years. He was captured on the Yugoslav-Greek border.

Like so many, he wasn’t able to talk about his experiences, and had a lot of difficulties in assimilating after the war. He died in 1968 and we really don’t know anything about him. Would love to know if anyone remembers him or knows of him. On the rare occasions he did speak about this time, he did mention at least 2 attempted escapes. Also, there doesn't seem to be many Australian POW’s listed, does anyone know of any Australian POW groups?
