Capt. Fulvio Cameli
Italian Army
My father was commandant of the English and Australian POW camp in Tobruk in 1941. He was responsible for the transfer of the same POWs to Italy via Triploi on 8th March 1941.
He had such good relations with the POWs that they presented him with a Leika camera on their arrival in Naples. He was arrested and imprisoned for three months pending investigation for his alleged "association with the enemy". He helped them build a chapel, organised football matches, distributed double rations of cigarettes and tea (which was prohibited), and much more)
