To my knowledge he wasn't Australian, though it is possible. The story is, I have a colour pencil sketch of my brother and me as children taken from a photo my father sent to an Australian friend of his who was a POW in Stalag VIIIB (later known as 334). Another POW, Sgt F Thompson, RAF, did the sketch from the photo. When my father's friend returned after the war he brought us the sketch. I now have it framed and hanging by my computer. It is signed "Sgt F Thompson, RAF, Stalag VIIIB, Germany". Starting with that information I have managed to find the other detail in my earlier post. I assume he was British, but as there were many RAF personel at that time who were from abroad he could have been from Australia, Canada, USA or even elsewhere.
