Pte. Ralph John Green
British Army Royal Army Ordnance Corps
from:Manchester
I am trying to research my father's POW history. His name was John Green and he was captured in Cyrenaica, Libya on 6 April 1941 whilst serving with Royal Army Ordnance Corps in The 2nd Armoured Division. Thereafter, he was held in various camps in Italy and Germany. The only information I have managed to receive is from the Veteran's Agency which states he was POW in Stalag IVB from 1943. He was repatriated on 19 May 1945. I would dearly love to gain more information about the camps in which my father was held to appreciate the trials and tribulations which he had to endure which, unfortunately, up until now I have failed to appreciate. In common with most, my father did not speak about his war time experience and I feel as a tribute to him and many others I should record his story.
