My dad, John Cox, was captured in Italy and sent to a prison of war camp in Sulmona, Italy. He escaped but was captured by the Germans in the mountains and taken to Stalag X1A. I'm not sure which camp the memories came from, but he only told us of the good times, when they made Christmas pudding and used boot polish to make the mixture dark! The shows they put on and how he always treasured his mandolin sent by the Red Cross. He was, however, always scared of Alsatian dogs.

Pte. Noel Cox . British Army 2nd Btn. Northamptonshire Regiment
On 28 January 1944, during World War II, the Orvieto North railway bridge at Allerona, Italy, was the site of the inadvertent bombing by the American 320th Bombardment Group of a train filled with Allied prisoners. Most of the POWs had come from Camp P.G. 54, Fara in Sabina, 35 kilometres to the north of Rome, and had been evacuated in anticipation of the Allied advance. One of the men on the train, Richard Morris of the U.S. Army, wrote that the train was halted on the bridge over the river when the Allied bombs started to fall, and that the German guards fled the train, leaving the prisoners locked inside. Many escaped, Morris included, through holes in the boxcars caused by the bombing, and jumped into the river below. Historian Iris Origo wrote that 450 were killed when the cars ultimately tumbled into the river.
Noel Cox was captured at Garigliano. He survived the wreck with a probable fracture of bone in foot. He was sent to Stalag 344 Lamsdorf.

Robert Hutchinson "Boxer" Cox . British Army Royal Army Service Corps from Chester-Le-Street, Durham
Robert Hutchinson Cox was captured in Greece during WW11 in 1941 and held in various labour camps in Austria. Bob is now aged 92 and living in sheltered accomadation in Chester-Le-Street and, although elderly, has still got all his facalties. I have known Bob as uncle Bob for all of my 49 years. He was in the Royal Army Service Corps but was captured in 1941 in Greece. I am in possesion of his homemade scrap book with pictures taken in the camps by a German Guard (for payment) and includes a lot of his friends as well as his camp tag. Friends include, George Turkington (Liverpool), Paddy Quade (Folkestone), Sid Chalmers (Derby), Jimmie Johnstone (Edinburgh), Bill "Tug" Wilson (London), Bill Timson (Nuneaton), and his best ` Mucker` as Bob puts it Wilf Bailey (Halifax).
I am getting some great stories and information off Bob and will share them in the future. It would be great for any of the family of these men to swap stories. Bob was well known for being the Welterwieght Boxing Champion of the camp for his 4 years of, as he puts it, Holiday on Adolf's cost.
S/Sgt. Robert Henry Cox . British Army Royal Army Medical Corps from London
My grandfather was Robert H Cox. He died before I was born, so I didn't know much about him. I have recently inherited his medals and am desperate to find out more about him. I have his records but they are mainly unreadable. I know he was in the RAMC and served in Singapore. I do have a photograph of him.
