Italian POW help! Giuseppe Seminara

[Birke]

Hello,
by chance I read your letter in this forum. (I was looking for informations about Merry Thougt Camp 76, because my father was also a POW there.)
Maybe I have a big surprise for you: in BBC - WW2 People`s war I found the story of a woman, who wrote about an italian prisoner of war, working on her parents farm . His name was Guiseppe Seminara! This is the link:

Good luck!

Hi my name is Clara, I too am looking for information on a farm near MerryThought camp. I am writing on behalf of my mother and my aunt who are in search of their British brother. My granfather Giuseppe Antenori was taken prisoner by the British in the battle of Bardia during the Second World War, probably on 3rd January 1941, and was kept a prisoner in the UK until 1946.
We have been looking for some information about my granfather’s imprisonment for years. In particular we would like to find out the name of the family who owned the farm where my granfather worked between 1941 and 1946. Our father told us that he was treated very well and that he had a relationship with the farm owner, a Ms Barbara, from which a son was born.
We also know that he was imprisoned in the labour camps no. 104 Beela River, Milnthorpe, Westmorland (identification number: 118160) and no.76  Merry Thought Camp, Calthwaite, Penrith, Cumberland (probably Plumpton). We obtained this information from the notes our father wrote on a photo he sent to his parents and from some documents presently kept at Potenza Military District.
I apologize for my English not very fair. I hope someone will be able to help me in this desperate search!
