261779 Pte. Charles Dennis Plant British Army Royal Army Medical Corps from:140 Phyllis Street, Barry Island, Glamorganshire, S. Wales My father, Charles Plant was captured in Greece on 27th of April 1941 and sent to Stalag 8b on 20 October 1941, according to his POW record (that he said he and one of his mates stole from the office in Stalag 8b). He then went to Oflag 9a on 8th of April 1942 and to Oflag 9a/h on 30th of September 1942. He said he helped the officers there by going shopping down in the village, first with a guard and then after a while without a guard. When a German officer asked for volunteers for repatriation, he refused, saying that he was not married and wanted the married men to go before him. He was finally selected for repatriation on 26th of October 1943 and went to Scotland via Sweden. We have received copies of his service record card, his ID card, and what we think are his POW work records (all in German). We have visited Stalag 8b and Lamsdorf. We also have a few details written by my father about his time in the POW camps.
