I am still trying to piece things together in regards to his journey from the Suez to capture, so uncertain where he was captured at present, but from your information (Thank you) i would have an educated guess that he was captured at the same area.

Thank you very much for this information, this has added another piece to the jig saw around when the arrived in Suez. My Grandfather was involved In the defence of Crete and was MIA 28th April 1941, reported as a POW on 6th August 1941, he was in Stalag 383. Any other information about the 708 would be gratefully received.

I am looking for any details of the Royal Engineers 708th General construction company during WW2, particularly between September 1939 - June 1941, I believe they were in Greece from March 1941, and were at some stage on Crete during April - June 1941. Any information would be gratefully received.
