258536 Tpr. Albert James "Mick" Hagger British Army Reconnaissance Corps from:Pampisford, Cambridgeshire My father, Albert Hagger volunteered for service in WW2, and during his time he was evacuated from Dunkirk. He served as a tank driver. His regiment was reformed and sent to the Middle East, where he got to see the Holy Land. He was captured by the Germans and handed over to the Italians. I know he must have passed through Italy before he ended his war as a prisoner (number 226596) in Stalag IV-B in the Czech Republic. I'd love to know what happened to them between their capture and eventual release at the end of the war. I seem to recall him saying that they were forced to work down a mine.
