Entertaining Prisoners of War
Ella Henderson

I remember the Italian and the German prisoners working on the farm at West Kyloe. We used to get wrong for going beside them. Dad invited two or three german prisoners to our house for tea some Sundays - I think they were stationed near Beal. One of them had a swastika under his lapel on his jacket.
We used to get a lift in their van to school sometimes if the guard let us.
They made a lot of toys and things - I remember rings made out of plastic or perspex.

Message 1 - Prisoners of War

Posted on: 12 April 2004 by Stanley H Jones

It was interesting to read your memories of P.O.Ws. YOu might like to read my memories of entertaining Germans Prisoners in Wiltshire. I often wonder what happened to some of these boys. If they are still alive probably now elderly gentleman living somewhere in Germany. It was an intersting time - we were too young to really know all about the horrors but looking back many of them were only doing their job and like us didn't want war. Thanks for the memories!
