Description:
This group photo of men in a POW camp was sent to us by the niece of one of the men picture (George Drummond, 4th Black Watch).
It is not clear which of the three camps that George was held within is pictured here. George spent time in Stalag XXIA (Schildberg, Poland), Stalag IVC in Wistritz, Sudetenland, (now Czech Republic) and Stalag VIIIB (Lamsdorf, Poland - renamed Stalag 344 during 1943).

Division History References :
George Drummond was captured in June 1940 and was sent to a number of camps between 1940 and 1945 including Stalag XXIA (Schildberg), Stalag IVC (Wistritz) and Stalag VIIIB (Lamsdorf) which was renamed Stalag 344 during 1943.
We have a collection of photographs from the camp and a short description of George's war, complied by his Great Great Nephew, Shaun Finnigan.
