Other than his signature on the wall, all the information we have on Allan Oliver comes from his “Returning PoW Questionnaire” and on-line PoW records. We know that Oliver was born in 1920, and came from Dumbarton, Scotland. In addition, as regards his time as a PoW, we know that his prisoner number was 83117, that he was held at Stalag VIII-B Teschen (Cieszyn) and then associated work camps, before being moved to Stalag 22A as part of the “Long March”.
