Italian Prisoners of War in Southern Africa

This image shows a group of Italian prisoners of war in a camp in Southern Rhodesia. The British held some of their prisoners of war in camps located in Rhodesia, which was a British colony at the time. My great-uncle was one of those Italian POWs. At the end of the war he refused to return to Italy and instead recruited my great-grandfather to join him in southern Africa.
