Sgt. N.C. "Colin" Dean .     South African Army 2nd Field Regt.

I am trying to trace my father's war experiences and would appreciate any information at all. I currently know the following:

He joined up in 1940 and went from Pietermaritzburg to Potchefstroom for training with the 6th Battery. They embarked on HMT Dilwara on 22nd July 1941 and reached Port Tewfik on 12th August 1941. After that the trail becomes hazy until June 1942 at Knightsbridge where he was on the No. 1. Gun in E Troop. His gun team comprised: Bdr. D.G. (Danie) Strachan, Gnr. W.A. (Bill) Nye (later Knight), Gnr. E.J. (Eddie) Keiser, Gnr. D.I. (Dennis) Else, Gnr. Macl. (Jack) Goldstone, Driver Gnr. J.A. Stephens.

They were held in POW camp in Italy, and later in Germany (Stalag 317). I don't know the name of the Italian camp or the dates. He escaped, got to the UK and finally return to PMB where he was discharged in October 1945. He died in 1971. His POW number was 39809.

I would be most grateful to receive any information at all that would fill in some of these vast gaps. I will gladly pay any costs incurred.

Please use our Family History resources to find out more about your relatives. Then please send in a short article, with a photo if possible, so that they can be remembered on these pages.














The free section of the Wartime Memories Project website is run by volunteers. We have been helping people find out more about their relatives wartime experiences since 1999 by recording and preserving recollections, documents, photographs and small items.

The website is paid for out of our own pockets, library subscriptions and from donations made by visitors. The popularity of the site means that it is far exceeding available resources and we currently have a huge backlog of submissions.
