Tom Barker
British Army 1st Btn. Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders
My regiment was 1st Btn Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders, and I was a resident in Stalag 4B for two of my four years as a POW. I was wounded and captured on Crete in June. For two years I worked slave labour, then Harry Tenny - who had been shot down during a raid - swapped identities with me so he could get back to the UK and the RAF, so that he could bomb Germany again. I told him "If you do come back to bomb, just look out for me wavin' me hanky and don't drop any near me."
