RSM Frederick Charles Read

British Army Royal Engineers

from:Poole, Dorset

My Great Uncle, RSM Fred Read, was a British Camp Leader at Lamsdorf Stalag 8B amongst others. He wrote his memoirs some 30 years ago and we lost touch but they were never published which was a shame. He emigrated to Africa after the war and died there and I am sure he would have loved to have seen the information here and reminisced. We have recently published his book for the Kindle on Amazon.co.uk - though you can read it on a normal PC. It is entitled "A War Fought Behind The Wire" and mentions many anecdotes about POW life. I wanted to publish it for free but Amazon has a minimum charge of £0.77. I hope others may find it interesting. I have spoken to a fellow POW who well remembers Fred Read and others may do the same. He was quite a character.
