LAC. Cyril Pellowe
Royal Air Force
from:Saltash, Cornwall
Cyril Pellowe was my dad.
He was a prisoner of war in Stalag 3b.
He didn't talk a lot about this time, just little things now and then.
He was in the Air Force and was taken prisoner on the island of Kos. He said that all the prisoners gave anything they had to the children before it was taken by the Germans.
When they were in the prison camp they were given injections using a cartridge pen and swapped some of their things from Red Cross parcels with the guards.
