Repatriated Cpl. D. J. Parfrey of Clutton.
Amongst the repatriated British prisoners is Cpl. D. J. Parfrey, of 34, Maynard Terrace, Clutton, a Royal Marine. He was captured at Crete.
Cpl. Parfrey was not wounded but he developed a form of paralysis after contracting diphtheria in a prison camp.
He spent most of his time in French hospitals, where the doctors and nurses treated him extremely well.
Before that he was in Salonica for a few weeks and had a wretched time there. Rations consisted of coffee in the morning, a dish of watery soup at mid-day and another with a few biscuits at night.
"But for the Red Cross parcels," he said, "I don't think many of the fellows who were with me would be here now."
He spoke glowingly of the reception they were given in Sweden on their way home.

Repatriated from Germany – Joyous Welcome for Clutton Man.
After 16 months in a German prison camp, Corpl. Douglas Parfrey has to his native village, Clutton, to spend six weeks' leave with his mother father at 34, Maynard Terrace.
He is 25 years of age, and was educated at the village school. He was a plasterer before joining the
Royal Marines in February.
Talking to a representative of this paper, Corpl. Parfrey described how he was making his way to a ship when Crete fell. He slept in caves until he was taken.
After being at Athens and Salonika, he was herded with some more prisoners into cattle trucks, and, after a ten days' journey, arrived at Stalag IV B, in Saxony, and was later transferred to VIII B. in East Prussia, from whence he was repatriated.
Describing a typical day in a camp, Corpl. Parfrey said: "About 7 a.m. we got up, and were counted. After a cup of tea and one slice of black bread, which was our breakfast, we had our morning's exercise of walking round the camp.
"About 10:30 we had another cup of tea and slice of bread, and we used to pay a visit to our friends until lunch-time.
"Lunch consisted of German soup, which was just water and vegetables. It was absolutely no good.
"In the afternoon we had sports, such as cricket, football, and soft ball. At tea the best meal of the day we had four potatoes and some meat and vegetables our Red Cross parcels.
"In the evening we played cards until 9 p.m., when we had a cup of cocoa and went to bed.
"On Sundays we had church services for all denominations. There was a Roman Catholic priest and three Church of England chaplains. There were 13,000 prisoners in our camp."
Referring to their guards, Corpl. Parfrey said: "At first they were young men. but now they have been superseded by older men, who were back from Russia. Some had false legs.
"In the beginning guards thought Germany would win in no time, but now they are frightened of Russia. and ask. 'When are the British going to start their offensive?”
Corpl. Parfrey was in hospital for year and nine days, suffering from diphtheria and its aftereffects of paralysis. After further treatment he hopes to be in the best of health again.
He came home in the Drottningholm. and landed at Leith. The Crown Prince of Sweden visited their ship at Gothenburg, and they received souvenirs.
Corpl. Parfrey reached Clutton on Saturday afternoon. His parents knew nothing about his illness. He was met by two sisters at Temple Meads, Bristol, and travelled to the village in a taxi where there mg a very joyous welcome awaiting him.
Corpl. Parfrey paid this tribute to the Red Cross “Their parcels contain absolutely everything. If it had not been for the Red Cross many of the lads would not have come through. We lived on the Red Cross parcels. Each Man received one per week."
He mentioned that the Russian prisoners were badly treated, and had no Red Cross parcels.
Corpl. Parfrey wishes to thank everyone giving him such a great welcome, and for their kind gifts. In particular the Clutton Comforts Fund, which regularly supplied him with cigarettes. “Thanks to the Clutton Comforts Fund I have never been without a cigarette," he said
Shortly, Corpl. Parfrey hopes to marry an old school friend, Miss Kathleen Church, of The Mead, Clutton.
