205087 Cpl. Ernest Albert Dexter from:Camberwell I know that my Dad, Ernest Dexter was POW at Stalag 8b for 2 1/2 years. He was captured at Salerno. He escaped(absconded) twice and made many friends in that time. Sadly after repatriation he didn't keep in touch with any. He told of some funny stories including the sudden death of the Commandant's rabbits. On one of his escapes (his last one) he and at least one other POW got into Czechoslovakia and were on the run for a few days. They were helped by the son of a ski lodge owner, who the Germans took possession of as way of a punishment. I would be interested to hear from anyone still around who remembers my Dad. He may have had the nickname "Charlie" Please type your message:      We recommend you copy the text about this item and keep a copy on your own computer before pressing submit.
