S/sgt Kenneth Grant's POW Diary

[gfgrant8443]

Today I received the diary my father kept while he was a POW that my sister discovered among my mother's papers after she passed away and contains a great deal of detail about the day to day life of a POW. Needless to say this a very exciting find and I intend copy it word for word and post it on the Indianamilitary.org website.

Jim West posted a copy of my father's diary under Stalag IV-B. It;s missing a couple of pictures, but the content is all there.

The diary can be found on the Indiana Military Site.

Thank you so much, Frank, for sharing this piece of your father's story with us.
