he did some work on the farms there so apart from manual labour i don't know if he went through any hardship ,
but he got rid of his medals not long after the war so he wasn't one for any story's about what had happened and i gather he wasn't too happy about being a pow
he was in the army pre war for a good few years and as far as i know he got the rank of 2nd leftenant ive no idea about his roles
here is a couple of pictures of the issued clothing he had during his time that you may be interested in seeing
