Pte. Maurice Gosling Cammish
New Zealand Military Forces A Coy., 25th Btn. 2nd New Zealand Division
from:Wellington, New Zealand
Maury Cammish was captured in the Battle for El Mreir, just before the main battles for El Alamein, on 22 July 1942. He was transferred via camps in Benghazi (6 weeks), Bari (3 months) and Gruppignano (10 months) before being transferred to Stalag 344 in Nov 1943. He was subsequently transferred to Gorlitz. Dates are soft unfortunately. His written records show that he was held or worked at KDE 732 and at KDE 1. He took part in one strand of the 'Long Marches' throughout Feb-April 1945, eventually meeting up with American troops.
