Colditz Castle
The news this morning that nine Victoria Cross medals have been stolen in a 'smash and grab' raid from Waiouru Army Museum has shocked New Zealand. And rightly so. The theft insults the whole country.
My attention to it has been focused by a decision recently to donate Jacqui's grandfather's Colditz diaries to Waiouru. Back in 1943, he was incarcerated in the famous castle. Dr Bull was a doctor who provided medical aid to many an allied prisoner at this time. Like the medals, his diaries belong in the museum. They are part of New Zealand's army heritage.
