211619 RSM Frederick Charles Read British Army Royal Engineers from:Poole, Dorset My Great Uncle, RSM Fred Read, was a British Camp Leader at Lamsdorf Stalag 8B amongst others.
He wrote his memoirs some 30 years ago and we lost touch but they were never published which was a shame. He emigrated to Africa after the war and died there and I am sure he would have loved to have seen the information here and reminisced.
We have recently published his book for the Kindle on Amazon.co.uk - though you can read it on a normal PC. It is entitled "A War Fought Behind The Wire" and mentions many anecdotes about POW life.
I wanted to publish it for free but Amazon has a minimum charge of £0.77.
I hope others may find it interesting. I have spoken to a fellow POW who well remembers Fred Read and others may do the same. He was quite a character.
