Can
you help with further information on Michael? He was
a PoW in Stalag XXB and comes from Scotland. He was
repatriated in 1943 with the Red Cross exchange of wounded,
as he went from Black Watch to the Army Medical Corps. His
daughter has a photo her mother sent to him at stalag XXB
which he brought back with him and it is stamped on the back.
As her father never spoke much of his time as a PoW it is
difficult to get information. His daughter, Mary, would
be interested to hear any stories or memories you may have.
Harry
Mathieson from Grimsby, Lincs, wrote directly to me. He says:
I
am 79 was in 78th Divison 1943 until demob 1947. Have a copy
of Battle Axe Weekly on computer copied from one I have. Served
with RASC with 36 Inf Brigade. Memories of driving jeeps with
a platoon at Cassino, the Mad Mile and Railway Station with
the West Kents. All the smoke and mules, some of them dead
and blocking the paths on mountainside. Also we used jeeps
as stretcher bearers as they could take 4 stretchers. We could
go almost anywhere, carry ammo and use a trailer and chains
on all wheels. In daylight with the Red Cross flag flying
we brought back wounded. Germans had respect for the flag.
Yours Sincerely Harry Mathieson. Driver. RASC.327 Coy/217
Field Ambulance (attached). Jeep Platoon/57 Coy 36th Inf Brigade.
Does
anyone else remember Harry? Were you one of the wounded he
saved or were you in his regiment? If so, please do contact
me.
Harry's
memories can be found here
on this site (with his kind permission) and on the the BBC
WW2 People's
War site.
Richard's
father was a PoW from 1940 -1945 in Poland. One of the camps
was Stalag XXB at Thorn. He is now 83 years old and only now
is he getting interested in what passed. Any information would
be gratefully received. His name is Robert (Bob) Mair and
he served with the 1st Lothian and Border Regiment; which
was then swallowed up by the 51st Highland Divison. He was
born in Leith, Edinburgh and was captured 12th June 1940 at
St. Valery en Caux.
Mo's
grandfather was a PoW at Stalag XXA. His name was Jock McDonald
and he played saxaphone with a band formed in the camp.
Mo would love to know more about his life when imprisoned
there. Unfortunately he died in 1977 and did not like to talk
about his spell at this awful place.
He became freindly with a Polish family and one name that
Mo has is Fritz Begelski (unsure about the spelling) he continued
to keep intouch with the family after the war.
Please
contact Mo if you
can help.
Thank
you to Bill Niven for this information.

John
is seeking information on his father, Corporal George Moodie,
Number 305814, Seaforth Highlanders. He was a PoW in Stalag
XXB from 1940 to 1945. John now believes he was on the Death

At
the end of the war he returned to his home town of Edinburgh.
Here

in Scottish Barracks before they set off for France. Do you
recognise anyone in the second picture? Were you one of George's
commrades?
Please
have a look at the Stalag
XXA/XXB photographs page to see more photographs of George
Moodie and other PoWs that we would like to identify.
John

P/O
Thomas (grandfather of Tom Forbes) was a Lancaster bomber
pilot during the war and was tragically killed on July 13th
1943. Three of his crew survived the crash in
the Bay of Biscay to be picked up and eventually became prisoners
of war. One, Leslie Matthews, was taken to Camp 357,
Torun (Thorn) in Poland. Tom has found out a great
deal about his grandfather, the squadron he flew with
and has been in touch with many relatives of 12 squadron crew.
However,
the PoWs have eluded him. His aunt remembers visiting
Leslie's parents in Palmers Green in London - she thinks after
the war - which might mean the Leslie never came back.
Tom understands that between 2,500 and 3,500 died during the
horrific death marches.
Although
Tom is not related to Leslie, he would like to find out more
about him and the other bomber crew.
Sgt
Leslie Matthews,
Lancaster Navigator, 12 Squadron, RAF Service No - 148817.
Leslie and/or his parents lived in Palmer's Green, North London.
He was a PoW at Camp 357.

George
William Moore
Andrew
contacted me to say he was very interested to read the story
of the rescue of the Royal Dutch Family. "It was very
fascinating and gives an excellent insight to the bravery
of all those involved." Andrew is researching his family
tree and therefore has particular interest in the rescue.
His
great uncle, George William Moore, served as skipper on HMS
Artic Hunter, a trawler commissioned as a minesweeper during
the War. He was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross (DSC)
for his service on 3rd September 1940 for minesweeping coasts
of Holland, Belgium and France.. Apparently, Andrew's grandfather
had once said that this award was given for George's part
in helping the Dutch Royal Family leave Holland. It is noted
that the Germans invaded Holland on May 10th 1940 and that
the Dutch Royal Family had fled prior to them taking control
of the country shortly afterwards.
George
lived in Hull and worked in the fishing inductry prior to
the war. In 1939 he was a trawler skipper. He then joined
up with the Royal Naval Reserve (RNR) during the War.
The
records show that from 20th February 1940 - April 1940 he
was T/A/Skipper. Lt of the HMS Arctic Hunter (minesweeping
trawler). The records state that in February 1941 the ship
was still indexed as a minesweeper, but no longer listed as
such.
Andrew
would be interested if anyone could confirm whether this ship
was part of the fleet that was involved in the evacuation.
Andrew's
father has a photograph which he is waiting to receive which
he will pass on to this site to see if it jogs any memories.
If
you can help with further information, please email Andrew

"Reg" (from his given name initials) in the camps.
Unfortunately,
Robert would never talk about his experiences and has now
passed away.
If
you can help with further information, please email

Looking
for information on grandfather, George Munford, who served

retreat of Dunkirk and the battle at Anzio which is where
he became a PoW and was sent to Stalag VII (near Moosburg).

like to talk about it much.

E. Martel
Looking for information on father, PVT. Robert E. Martel of
Lynn, MA.
He
was attached to the 82nd Airborne (unit unknown) and he participated
in D-Day, fought in the Battle of the Bulge (Nijmegen Bridge)
and was in the Ardennes of Belguim in December 1944, where
he was captured about Christmas.
Robert
was taken to Stalag XIIA, Limburg and then transferred to
Stalag IXB, Bad Orb, where he stayed until the end of the
war in April. Robert was 19 when captured and he weighed 86
lbs at liberation only 4 months later.
Sadly,
Robert passed away in 1986, and his daughter would love to
find as much information as possible to pass on to future
generations. The only other thing she knows for certain is
that before he went to Eurpoe, the Army sent him to school
in St. Louis (radio school possibly).

anyone have any information, if not about Robert, then perhaps
his unit or the prisoner camps? If you can help with further
information, please email.

"Hi
there. I am searching for information about my grandfather
Harold Sydney Muggridge. He was captured at Dunkirk and was
a POW for the rest of the war. He was a medic. His POW number
was 30951. We have photographs and post cards that were sent
to my dad and his step mum The mark is Stalag 1X (IX or 9?).
We know he came back but he only lived to the age of 53. We
believe his experiances are likely to have shortened his life.
He was a very private and gentle man that talked very little
about the war. I am putting a scrap book together for my dad
but am finding it difficult to trace his military records.
Hopefully
you may be able to assist. Thank you in advance."

emailed to say:
"I
am trying to find out info about my grandfather.
His name is Samuel Millar, son of Abraham
Millar, of Ballymena, born 1916 (maybe March 9). Samuel served
in the Royal Ulster Rifles. He may have been born by another
name, Kidd. I don't know his mother's name. He married Audrey
Joyce Kate Barnett, April 12 1941, in Yeoville, England, and
then later moved to Canada (Thunderbay, Ontario).
I
am hoping to find out more about him, and his parents."
