Pte. Kenneth Joseph Hay
Royal New Zealand Air Force 18 Battalion
Pte Kenneth Joseph Hay was my husband's uncle, who enlisted with a younger brother, Leonard Ewald Hay. Leonard was killed and Ken was taken prisoner in Crete, then moved to Stalag VIIIB - Prisoner No. 5120. His final incarceration was at Stalag VIIIB Teschen. He returned to New Zealand on 5 September 1945 and never spoke a word of his experience. Did anyone know Ken whilst a POW?
