Cpl. Kenneth Unwin
British Army 2nd Battalion Kings Royal Rifle Corps
from:Croydon, Surrey
Dad, Kenneth Unwin was captured in October 1944 having crossed the River Po in Northern Italy. It wasn't until the Spring of '45 that a record of him being a POW was mentioned. I can't imagine how his family felt! Only thing he mentioned of his time there was he used to be a "tin tapper". He made a medicine cabinet out of tin cans, my brother still has it.
