50089 4A Smith, Cpl Joseph,, 3909367, 16th Battalion DLI. His son David Smith writes: 'My father Joseph Smith, Army No 3909367 was transferred to the 16 DLI in May 1943 from the Welsh Regt (previously in the SWB). He was captured at La Crocetta, Italy 1944. As he was wounded, he spent some time in a convent in the mountains in Italy. He was picked up from there by the SS and he thought his number was up. He was then sent with others in a cattle truck to Germany. He always said he went through Switzerland to get there. His Army record states he was in Stalag 4A. However we have a post card from him in Stalag 4B. He always said he was just outside Dresden (as he was detailed to clean it up by the Germans). His POW number on this postcard is given as 50089. He to escaped in May 1945 and always said he hitch-hiked home without telling any authority, crossing the Channel in an American Flying Fortress. He then spent two weeks at home before reporting.'
