224130 Sgt Cyril Archdale Bolden Australian Imperial Force Supply Corps 6th Division from:Sydney, Australia Cyril Archdale Bolden was captured during the Battle of Crete. He was moved to Stalag 13c and was a POW for 4 years. During that time, like many, he was put to work by his captors. As the allied forces moved through Germany and liberated POWs they often marched in columns. Given that many of them had been POWs for some time they were often dressed in whatever clothes they could get. A column of POWs was straffed by Canadian airforce. Cyril took a shell to his left leg which later required amputation. He was repatriated to Sheffield in England and spent about 12 months there before returning to his old job in Sydney.
