Donald Semmens served with the 2nd Battalion, Wiltshire Regiment in WW2. He was one of a small party who were all wounded and overrun by the Germans in action in the mountains in Italy in January 1944.
They were fairly well treated and moved from hospital to hospital until they reached Northern Italy where they were packed into cattle trucks and taken to Germany.
His first camp was Stalag 7a at Mooseburg. Later he was transferred to Stalag 11a and finally went to an outside working party No 356-9 and was employed on a drainage scheme.
