Albert Martin
British Army 1st Btn. Durham Light Infantry
My father, Albert Martin, was a professional soldier serving with the 1st Btn Durham Light Infantry. He was taken prisoner on the Greek island of Kos, in mid 1943 and sent to Stalag 4B. On the morning that the POWs discovered hat their German captors had fled, he took the swastika flag flying from the flag pole as a souvenir. Any other ex-British POWs out there?
