WW2 - A Cornish Story - Part Four

In this episode, the Digital Interns at Bodmin Keep and the Museum of Cornish Life are speaking on the theme of Prisoners of War. They offer two diverse perspectives on the topic; discussing the experiences of enemy Prisoners of War, held here in Cornwall as well as the story of Gerald Cecil Williams; British Army Officer, held as a Prisoner of War overseas from 1941-1945. First captured in North Africa in late 1941, Gerald moved through multiple camps in Italy, Czechoslovakia and finally Germany, where he narrowly escaped death when his camp was bombed by the US Air Force.
