Hope that you are having a good day.

When it is convenient please would you ask your Father to check his emails.

Best wishes

Jane

He has received your e-mail and I believe is going to be answering you as soon as!  Hope he can be of some help, although he doesn't know where the donkey story fits in and the only mines they were working in were the ones in Czechoslovakia, not Italy, so not sure where you Dad was now, although it was the same POW camp in Czech.  Speak again soon.

Hello again.

I may be mistaken regarding the mines and Vesuvius, but I do recall Dad explaining that while he was a prisoner he worked in a mine that was unbearably hot.

He definitely looked after donkeys while in Tunisia. Throughout his life his memory was perfect.
He was so distresses about the donkeys being killed.

At the moment I am enjoying a short break with a friend in the North East. When I return home at the weekend I will try to email you photographs of our visit to Sidi Nsir in 1993.

Very best wishes

Jane

Have been reading this with interest. Just discovered my Dad  - Charles Stanley Judd  (Middlesex Regiment) probably  called Stan -was in this POW camp.  He was in a camp in San Guiseppe Yato Sicily until 1943 and presumably moved at the Italian Armistice .  He was put to work in the coal mines and later became a miner in the East Midlands.  If there is anyone still around who remembers him I would be interested. He used to talk about the prisoners sabotaging the work and the Guards calling him ' the big blond'.  I would be interested in knowing more about what happened when they were freed. Dad finished up in Paris where he met and married Elizabeth Dorn.

Hi, I have a photograph taken in 1943 of POWs in Stalag ivc. On the reverse it names Tommy Bamforth, Clem Westgarthand and Les Knaggs. It may be of interest of people in this thread. Les was related to me.

Thank you. My Dad, a gunner with the Royal Artillery at Sidi Nsir, was a prisoner in Stalag ivc from1943. Although he is not in this photograph I have found it of interest. Thank you.

Hi Everyone,
I'm new here. I just found out today that a close relative was in Stalag IV C (I happened upon a digital version of a post card he sent back home which gave me this info). His name was Sydney Chisman, and his prisoner number was 223317. Long shot, I know, but if anyone has heard of him being mentioned it would be great to know a bit more about him. I know for sure he was there in 1944, though relations seem to remember he was there from the early days of WW2 and right through until liberation. He survived the war. Any information about the camp (and fingers crossed about Syd!) would be really gratefully received.
