Pte. Fred Hunt
Royal Marines
My father, Fred Hunt was from Widnes in Lancashire and was in the Royal Marines as a Private (rank). He was an anti-aircraft gunner. He was taken prisoner by the Germans on Crete in 1941 and held until liberation 1945.
He was marched by the German from Greece through Sudetenland and held in Stalag 4B and I believe Stalag 4C in Czechoslovakia and Germany but I have little information on this and seek more.
He suffered from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (Hyper anxiety disorder) post war when he met my mother, Sister Grace Edwards, Withington Manchester, Hospital trained Registered Nurse, (Princess Alexandria Royal Nursing Corp.) and married in 1948.
Anyone reading this - please send any information about POW sites Stalag 4B and Stalag4C (locations & conditions etc).
