Sgt. Lionel Frederick Richard "Tony" Jackson
2nd NZEF 18th Battalion
from:Kaitia, Bay of Islands, New Zealand
My Great Grand-dad, Lionel Jackson was a POW, he was captured by the Italians in 1941 and was commenced to the death march (supposedly ending in Germany) in 1942 he was then transferred over into German Nazi's hands. Waking up one day he saw himself surrounded by the Americans, this was in 1945. According to my Mum and Poppa he was firstly recognised as missing in action. My Nan (great-grand mother)then received a telegraph say he was a POW.
If there is anyone that remembers him, or has any photos or anything that has something to do with him. Please feel free to get in contact.
