My father was a prisoner in Stalag VIIIB/344. His name was Edward Easton Anderson – regimental number 31033. He was in the 25th Battalion, 2nd New Zealand Expeditionary Force and was captured in North Africa in 1941. 

From there he was sent to Italy to POW camp P.G. 148 Bussolengo near Verona.  Later he was taken to Stalag VIIIB/344. I’m not certain when this was but I think it was when the Italians capitulated.
