My father, Herbert Dawson, served in Malta and Leros. He was taken prisoner on Leros and was transported to prison camp in Germany. He was in Stalag XIA. But he was in an out for station work camp in Elbigerode.
He was able to visit Elbingerode a few years before he passed away.
"Faugh-a-Ballagh" - battle cry of Irish origin, meaning "clear the way".
