Pte. Arthur Raymond Austin
British Army 2nd Btn. Gloucestershire Regiment
from:Bristol
My Uncle Ray Austin never spoke about his captivity. But it's possible to try, so a criminal prisoner knows when he will be released and any remissions a POW has no such luxury he doesn't know when he will be released or even if he will ever be released. It all depends on how the war proceeds, my Uncle may well have thought he would spend the rest of his life in captivity. The emotional stress must have been enormous. It is due to those POW's we can live as we do.
