AH: And how long were you in Tunisia then?
JSZ: Not very long unfortunately.
AH: What happened?
JSZ: Well, we were about forty-ninth day eventually but still to do the front and then, I don’t think I even shoot the rifle because there was no hope, no chance, nobody knew exactly where we were but they were waiting for us. It was the British Army, I think it was Montgomery. And I was near Tobruk. And, of course, eventually we came to Bridgwater, Goathurst.
AH: How many of you came?
JSZ: Oh, well it was a full camp, some forty-four, I think a couple of hundred. They were all from different areas, from [Umbria] all going there. So I stayed there in the camp, oh, about six months I think and daily we used to go to work, different places.
AH: What kind of work was that?
JSZ: Oh, anything, hedging, ditching, different places.
AH: Was it just working on the farms then?
JSZ: No, no, no. When you were in the camp you had to go to work anywhere, places like [repair roofs] doing ditching, and I know it was a place in Martock, Martock, they was making, building, like a great big place, like very often you find students now, like…
AH: YMCA?
JSZ: Yes, places like for people to stay.
