Italian POW's
Fareastdriver,
your #8935 reminded me that my Grandmother had several Italian POW's
billeted with her.
This was in Perthshire. They lived in a Bothy in the woods.
According to her they ate everything that moved, birds, rabbits...
I have no idea what their real rations would have been. Apparently escape
was not worried about.
Why they were placed with a civilian I have no idea.
