Leonard Hunter
Australian Army 2/15th Btn.
My grandfather, Leonard Hunter, Australian 2/15th battalion, was a POW in Stalag 344 (8b). He was captured after El Alamein. He was a Rat of Tobruk, and was eventually released from prison when the allied forces liberated the camp. He had his ring finger shot off escaping from the camp and there are stories of his bunk capturing a German shepherd and eating it for Christmas. I am still trying to find information. If anyone can help with the history of this POW camp please let me know.
