Sig. Harry Frederick Bailey
British Army Royal Signals
from:Salford
My brother Harry Bailey was captured on Cos in 1943 and was transported to Germany via Yugoslavia (in a cattle truck). I do not know if Stalag 4D was the only camp he was imprisoned in (I recall him saying he and other POWs were forced to march West at a late stage of the war).
When he arrived back in the UK in 1945, he weighed only 7 stone and took some time to recover back to his normal weight (11 stone or so).
I would be interested to get more information about Stalag 4D etc.
