South African POW Magazine

Just scanned this magazine that I have, one of the pictures is my Grandfather in Campo 52 in Italy. Quite a few pages. I think these were put together by an organization for relatives of POW's.

Enjoy.

Thanks for that, very interesting.
One thing I did think of is, could you post the names of the POWs featured in there so then anyone searching for them could pick up the names on Google, for instance.
Just a thought.

Yeah, I will do that. I think I should edit it too so the pictures are easier to see and read. Always hind sight.

Great stuff penderel. Really interesting to see so many guys taken on the same days and same places as my grandfathers. I keep hoping to see a picture of one of them but no luck so far.

Shame so much of it is written in 'Rooi Nek Praat', as my Durban born dad calls it when he wants to wind up my half Afrikaaner mum

Will need to get her in to translate.
