Gnr. Daniel Woodward

My late father,Daniel Woodward, was a prisoner in Italy in Campo 73. He married my Mum in March 1941 on a 48 hour pass, then was shipped abroad. My Mum never saw him again for 4 years.
He was a Gunner in the 8th Army and was captured in Africa on 1st June 1942 when he and his comrades ran out of ammunition and had to blow up their guns with their last round. He was shipped over to Italy and spent time in campo 66 before being transferred to campo 73. He escaped from the camp while part of a road repair gang and he lived in the hills until the Allies invaded Italy. He returned to England May 1945
