Internee G Scola (E 25164)
As a postal historian I have obtained a 1943 envelope sent by G Scola (E 25164) from Tatura camp to a solicitor in London. Was he a Dunera internee?
If so, with an Italian name and located at Tatura, could he also have been a survivor of the sinking of the Arandora Star?
Thank you for posting this Richard. I have added this to the Facebook page to “start off” a set of information – no names added but if you would like to go in and enlarge on the topic – you just never know who might be looking at some stage!

Oh – while I think of it – if we get 25+ people who like the page I can get rid of that terrible looking link!!!
Any people out the who would give us a “Like” on the Dunera Facebook!!!???
Excellent!!
Hi Richard, my father-in-law was George Scola who I believe was a Dunera internee and was also a survivor of the Arandora Star for which he received a medal. Whilst an internee he wrote a diary which has been typed up and which my brother in law has. George Scola died in 2006.
Shirley – MANY thanks for posting this. I’ll be interested to see Richard’s response…
Bye for now
Mike
