205513 Cpl. Maurice Ernest Shiers British Army Royal Corps of Signals from:Tamworth, North Staffs. My father joined the TA in 1938 and consequently was one of the first to be called up at the start of the war. Due to the fact that he had typhus in his teens he was not allowed to go to the Far East with his regiment. He, therefore, trained as a radio operator at Catterick Camp. He landed at Arromanches on D-Day +6 and was taken prisoner of war on his 23rd birthday (September 27th 1944)and sent to Stalag 4B. Here he acted as a medical orderly until the Russians liberated the camp in 1945. During his time in the camp he witnessed the German cruelty towards the Russian prisoners.
