Pte. Thomas Herbert Lee . British Army 1st Btn. Welch Regiment from Barry, Glamorgan Thomas Lee was taken prisoner by the Germans when Rommel's Afrika Korps overran 1st Battalion, Welch Regiment near Benghasi in 1st Battle of El Alamein, on the 30th of January 1942.
He was handed over to the Italians and eventually arrived at POW Hospital, Caserta, Italy in May 1942, via several transit camps and a sea crossing.
In July 1942 he was transferred to the POW Hospital at Lucca, Campo PG202.
We are not sure if he was a patient or some sort of medical orderly, because his own account suggests he was involved in the development of a library of 18,000 books at Lucca. His length of stay also suggests something more than a period of illness.
In September or October 1943 he was moved to Stalag VIIIb Lamsdorf on the medical train. Early in his stay at Lamsdorf, he was moved to a work camp run by civilians where he was treated reasonably well. From then he did a year as a miner at another work camp at Beuthen, Kommando E72.
On 22nd of January 1945 they were roused and marched out of camp on one of the Long Marches. This covered 900 miles, several countries and several months before they were liberated in Steblowitz (now Steblovice).

Pte. Thomas Lee . British Army 1st Btn. Manchester Regiment from Burnley (d.12th Oct 1943) I never knew Thomas Lee as he died before I was born. He was the husband of my aunt Alice. They were married in 1938 and had a daughter, Margaret.
He joined the 1st Battalion, Manchester Regiment in 1940. The Battalion was sent to Singapore. He was reported missing in action in 1942. Aunt Alice did receive a card from him in July 1943.
He had been captured at the fall of Singapore and was in a Japanese POW camp.
Unfortunately that was the last they heard about him until the end of the war.
The War Office informed my aunt that he had died on 12th of October 1943. He was buried in Thanbyuzayat War Cemetery, Myanmar.
