World War Two / Royal army service corps. WW2. POW
« on: Saturday 06 December 14 23:40 GMT (UK) »
Hi
I am trying to put together history of husbands great grandad who fought in the Second World War.
He is very interested in his grandfathers history so this is a special birthday present I'm putting together. I have some info but can't seem to find much else out. The info I have is below.
David Hume
Born 29 th June 1914
Edinburgh
Royal army services corps
Driver
Army number T/2827823
I believe he was based in Africa and was captured and taken to Italy to a POW camp, the record of this I have found online is that he was in P.O.W. Camp number 53, Urbisaglia Macerata, (Also listed as Sforza Costa), postal mark number 3300
I'm sure he was there for a couple of years.
Also online it says he was in another pow camp in Austria stalag 17b, Gneixendorf.
POW No. 153486
He also had a pow plate which says stalag viia which from what I could see is a different camp to the stalag one stated above.
Apparent while in one of the camps he was very injured and was due to be killed .
None of the family knew much about the history as understandably it was very difficult to talk about .
He so has two badges that are from the seaforth highlanders, if there is any info regarding this?
Any information as to how I could find out more would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
Karen
