Bmdr. Ronald Philip Abercromby Myburgh .     South African Army 2nd Light Anti-Aircraft Regiment, 4th Bty. SA Artillery   from Claremont, Cape Town

Ron in 1940

Ronald Myburgh enlisted as a 3rd year BSc student at University of Cape Town, aged 19, in July 1940 along with a group of mates. Wanted to join the Air Force, but there was a wait, so joined the unit which was being mobilised next. He saw service in East Africa at Mombasa and in Abyssinia; then Egypt and across North Africa. He was captured at Tobruk 20th/21st June 1942 and was shipped to Italy aboard the Mon Viso.

He was held in a number of POW camps, Transit camp P.G.51 at Villa Serena, Altamura (near Bari), P.G. 60, Colle Compecito, near Lucca, P.G. 52 at Calvari, near Chiavari (Nov. 1942) and Stalag 8A, Gorlitz (Sept 1943 to Feb 1945). He was on the The Long March from February to April 1945 and found freedom at Ditfurt on the 11th of April 1945. After repatriation to England, he was in Sussex from May to July 1945. Ron reached Cape Town on 3rd of August 1945, exactly 5 years since he had left by troop train.




Gnr. Fred Mycock .     British Army Royal Artillery

I have been told that my father, Fred Mycock, was held in Stalag 398. Apparently this was at Pupping. I believe that that camp was in the valley of the river Danube. However, when he was alive, we went to Austria and found the site of the old camp. I do not recall it being in Pupping. In fact I am pretty certain it was not. The camp we found was in a small village, just off a fairly major road. It had a small sawmill, with a log flume from further up in the hills behind. The camp was access via a narrow unmade road up a narrow ravine, alongside the log flume and small river. The hut foundations were still visible. The track continued up into the hills. It was there that my father worked, felling trees, which were sent down the flume. The flume was fed from the dammed-up river further up the valley. Editor's Note: Most of the Stalag POW Camps had work camps, known as arbeitskommandos, where the men would be housed close to the work they had been allocated.
