211664 Cpl. Herbert Moorhead Baxter Australian Infantry 2/7 Btn. from:Picola, Victoria I am trying to piece together my father's war history. His name was Bert Baxter, he was on the Costa Rica when it was sunk. He landed on Crete and was captured early in his service history by German forces. I am wondering as to which prison camp he was taken. Pretty sure it was Stalag 383. He won an Aussie rules football (carved from wood) for his footy talents! He went to work on a prison farm then back to camp towards the latter part of his time and was released by American forces in 1944, four years in total.
