503734 Corporal Ronald William "Dick" Dwyer Australian Army 2/8 Battalion My grandfather, Ronald William Dwyer, known as Dick, was interned in Stalag 8b for about 4 years, according to his service record. He was a corporal in the 2/8 battalion (Australian army), and was captured on the Greek-Yugoslav border after being left on Crete after a withdrawal (as there wasn't enough room on the ships) and I believe they were just left behind with no food or ammo. I would love to know anything at all about life in the camp. As like so many, he was unwilling or unable to talk about it. On the rare occasions that he would speak of that period, he did mention at least two attempted escapes. Would love to know more. I would also love to speak to others, especially about Australians as there doesn't seem to be any groups organized in this respect.
