South African Army
My grandfather was a South African soldier who ended up at Stalag 4B via an Italian camp after he was captured in Tobruk. I have all his letters, including telegrams from the Vatican radio listeners that they posted to my grandmother whenever they heard news of him. I have found the rehabilitation booklet which POWs were given on their return to civilisation.
