My Dad, Ernest van Telle was a sergeant in the AIF 2/11th Battalion, captured on Crete. He was interned in Stalag 8B circa 28.10.41. He was later transfer to Stalag 357 on the 24th April 1944. Dad was a red head and "Bluey" is a nickname that was applied to red heads. (It's an Aussie thing). He has now moved into a home, in the moving process we discovered a number of photos taken at the POW camp. Can anyone put a name to any of the faces?
