Pte. Francis Joseph Loam
British Army 1st Btn. Duke of Cornwall's Light Infantry
from:Redruth, Cornwall
Joe Loam was my uncle and I was told that he escaped from a prison camp in Italy and made it to Switzerland. Military records show that he was reported missing and later brought home, but I cannot find any information on his service or place of capture. Records show that he was held in POW Camp 53 Sforzacosta, Macerata, Italy.
