My father was Henry Boyle, but I think he was known as Duke Boyle. His unit was coy 6th Seaforths. His service no 3245550, prisoner of war no 12602. He was captured at Passchendaele, May 1940. I believe he was a Sergeant. He arrived at Stalag VIIIB on the 18th June, 1940. I would appreciate any information of his time at the camp.

Duke Boyle, a leader of a gang in Stalag VIIIB during WWII is recalled vividly by a group of Australian and New Zealand fellow POWs. I am currently writing about their experiences in the camps and Duke Boyle’s name keeps cropping up.
