Transferred To Germany
Since the collapse of Italy, L/Cpl. Percy Harvey, of Kilnhurst, has passed through two Italian prison camps on his way to internment in Germany.
He was taken by the Italians at Benghazi in Feb., 1941, and until the landings in Italy was interned in Camp P.G. 66, when he was sent to Camps 66 and 70, meeting in the latter another Kilnhurst man, Arthur Wilkinson.
L/Cpl. Harvey is now in stalag 48, in Germany. In a letter to his mother, he described the journey as hard and long, but asked her not to worry. L/Cpl. Harvey, who is 27, is the youngest son of Mrs. and the late Mr. Harvey, 48, Charles Street.
He joined the R.A.C. four years ago. Before that he was a van driver in Mexborough and was well known as a schoolboy footballer. One of his brothers is serving with the Home Forces, and another served a year before being invalided out.
