We had 3 POW working with us 1 was Sarafino Zeonello.He came from the POW camp in Stuartfield he was a super boy. He was a policeman in Italy. He got a piece of land from my father and he grew carrots spinach and other things and he sold them to the POW camp for money.

Mrs Hay

Italian German POW at Stuartfield there was a big camp at Stuartfield. A big lorry came round every morning and dropped 1 off here 2 off there then picked them up at night. “You got the same ones every day” more or less. If you had a Chaumer or a sleeping place sometimes got to stay. The Germans were good workers Italians were ok they were awfully tidy they were more busy with their clothes in an evening.
