Pte. James Joseph Bennett

British Army Royal Leicestershire Regiment

from:Birmingham

My father James Bennett was captured at the battle of Kasserine Pass in February 1943. He was transported to Italy and then to Germany, ending up at Oschatz - Stalag IVg, where he worked in quarries. He had an appendectomy (no anaesthetic), by a French doctor in nearby Colditz. He was arrested twice for trying to escape. After the war he served in the Rhine army. James died in 1995. I would be interested to hear if anyone remembered him.
