Two black diaries, written by Palandri across 1942 and 1943, document his experiences as a prisoner-of-war following his capture in Crete, May 1941. Palandri describes conditions in Stalag VIII-B and IV-A, his assignment to provide medical treatment for patients, recreational activities and sport matches, homesickness and being reminded of his sons by local children. The diary of the 2/7 Field Ambulance documents unit movements from 26 March to 7 June 1941 across the Middle East, Greece and Crete, and the names of several men, including Palandri, who were captured in Crete. A memoir written by Palandri describes his perspective of the campaign in Crete, the actions of local Greeks, the German paratrooper landings, and his capture and transport to Stalag VIII-B. This folder also contains one photograph of Palandri with other prisoners of war at Stalag IV-A, dated 1943, a paybook with inserted portrait photographs of Palandri and clothing coupon, a medical identification document issued December 1940 and a BNAF hospital certificate, dated May 1944.
