Prisoners of war - World War 1 and World War 2


Do you know anything about prisoners of war in our area?

It has been reported that German prisoners worked at Home Farm at the top of the hill on Dodworth Green, and that one of them made wooden toy hens! do you know anything about that?

Italian prisoners are reported to have worked on the railway line by 'The Dam', Have you heard that too?

Someone mentioned a legendarily strong prisoner who 'set gateposts' on local farms. Was it you who said this? Do you know about it?

Where did the prisoners live?
Who looked after them?
Where did they come from?
Where did they go?
Were there any incidents?
