Walter Edward Clasper

I have a name that can be added to the list. 

My great-grandad, Walter Edward Clasper, he was a prisoner of war in Stalag VIIIB Lamsdorf / Stalag344 sometime between 1942-1945. 

He was captured 23rd June 1942 around Mersa Matruh, Egypt but I’m not sure if he was sent straight to 344 as he also spent time in an Italian camp. 

He was a Private in the 8th Battalion of the Durham Light Infantry and his army serial number was 4461264.
