206168 Cpl. Gerald Lawrence Baxter South African Army Platoon runner. Signals Corps from:South Africa My late father Gerald Baxter would not talk of his experiences other than that he was in North Africa (Tobruk) and then as a POW. The information I have is that he was a Signalman and Platoon runner in South African 2nd Infantry and saw action in the North African Campaign, being captured at Tobruk. He was a POW in Italy (believe it was in the Po river valley area) but then escaped and was recaptured. He was traken to Germany to Stalag 4F Hartmannsdorf (POW No: 263029) He was demobilized and returned to South Africa at the end of the war. I would be extremely grateful for any addtional information. Please type your message:      We recommend you copy the text about this item and keep a copy on your own computer before pressing submit.
