Annelie: All very interesting. Have sent my '46 and today's photos to small wars and hope that they will publish them. Somehow, I could not send them via the forum. Patrick

Re: POW Camps in the Middle East
Amelie: My photos "Now and Then" are posted on the site that you gave me: Small Wars. Thank you for guiding me there.
Did your father serve in Crete? As he was one of the last to leave, he either opted to remain or he was a strong party member. Prisoners were listed as White, Grey or Black according to their sympathies. All white had been repatriated before I arrived at the camp and most Italians except those from the Tyrol. Patrick

Re: POW Camps in the Middle East
Your welcome, you haven't really changed that much during these years.
Yes, my Father served in Kreta/Crete. I don't know the reason of which he was one of the last to leave.
Don't think it was because he was a strong party member, perhaps he opted for personal reasons.
There wasn't really much to come home to.

Annelie: Thank you but I found this site many years ago and, in fact, recommended to you. The only person I knew was Colonel Shipley. Not hopeful that many (any!) of those whom I knew are alive. Cheers. Patrick

Ops, sorry about that. I admit I am over 29 and my memory sometimes fails me

Re: POW Camps in the Middle East
Hi,
I am new in the forum. I have been doing a research on allied POW kept in Turkish POW camps (Afion, Konya, Nigde, Ankara etc). I have made thorough use of another forum for the last year. So one by one I go walkabouts in other significant forums!. Axis in one that I am sure I can benefit from. I have gathered a lot of data and pictures through the other forum for my book, soon to be published. I believe I have a lot to benefit from Axis forum. Can you good guys please help me locate photos (especially afion camp), diaries, books etc. on Turkish POW camps ?
Much appreciated..
regards

Re: POW Camps in the Middle East
I just received from CICR (International committee of Red Cross) in Geneva the result of an inquiry I sent many months ago regarding the certification of my father detention in India as POW.
They found the capture card dated 5.9.1942 (about 55 days later) and a second card with the change of POW camp.
Something can be found, thanks to this wonderful Organization.

Re: POW Camps in the Middle East
Congratulations, on receiving information on your Father.
Yes, unless one has been on the receiving end of getting much wanted information
they will never know how grateful some of us feel for their help.
