Joe Pieri was arrested in Glasgow in June 1940 because he was an Italian. He was neither a Fascist, nor a Nazi, nor a dangerous war criminal, but due to government error, he was shipped to a Prisoner of War Camp in Montreal, Canada, where he remained until the end of 1943. Born into a poor rural family in Tuscany in 1919, his family emigrated to Glasgow when he was two, where his father found work as a fish fryer. Joe grew up to daily taunts of Wee Tally at school, but ironically often had to fight alongside his tormentors against rival gangs of boys on the way home. At home, Joe spoke only Italian and observed the traditions of Italian family life. In a society characterized by division and daily battles, Joe's easy talent for languages helped him master the skills necessary for survival in this hostile place.
