Pte. Arnold Merton

My great uncle Arnold Merton served in the Duke of Cornwall's Light Infantry. In May 1942 he was listed as missing and then in August 1942 listed as a Prisoner of War. His duty location was the Western Desert.
As far as I am aware he was taken to a POW in Italy ie P.O.W. Camp number 53, Urbisaglia Macerata, (also listed as Sforza Costa), postal mark number 3300. In 1945 he is recorded as being incarcerated in Stalag 17a, Kaisersteinbruck Bei Bruck in Austria. His POW No was 154987.
