210694 Pte. Arthur Dobinson "Smudge" Smith British Army Royal Army Ordnance Corps from:Sunderland. My grandfather Arthur Smith was a POW held in Stalag IVB. He served in the RAOC for the British Army and was captured in Tobruck. Taken to an Italian Prison Camp in Settore 1 he was then transferred to Stalag IVB as identified by his tags which my Dad has. He was moved to Stalag VIIIB at some time prior to undertaking the Death March. He spoke little of his time as a PoW but we know that he taught some other Soldiers to read and write during their time in Stalag and learned mathematics from another Soldier. We know he suffered (the same as the majority) with malnutrition and malaria but was one of the lucky ones that made it home. I have a copy of a letter sent to my grandfather from someone named Jack from Stowmarket, Suffolk, along with some photographs.
