L/Cpl. Albert Ernest Baldwin
British Army 18th (2nd Glamorgan) Btn. Welsh Regiment
from:Brixton, London
Albert Baldwin was captured on 9th April 1918 near Lavantie. He was shipped to Gardelegen P.O.W. camp. During his imprisonment there he was kept underground in complete darkness as a punishment. I do not know whether this was because of an escape attempt. He said that coming out of the dark, dragged into bright sunshine, damaged his eyesight permanently.
