Cpl. Sydney Arthur "George" Bawden
British Army Territorial
from:Wallington, Surrey
My father, George Bawden, was captured in North Africa by the Germans, transferred to Italy and imprisoned in Campo 78, Sulmona. He escaped with a small group of close friends when the Italians surrendered and made his way over the mountains to Casoli, a route now celebrated as The Freedom Trail.
