Arthur Sidney Dodgson
British Army
from:9 Linden Close, West Kirby
Arthur Dodgson was held at Stalag 357, Oerbke, Lower Saxony, Germany, Prisoner of War No. 27848. I remember my Uncle telling me that he was shot once during the war, by Allied fighter aircraft that opened up on a marching column not realising they were prisoners of war being marched back towards Berlin near the end of the war. Apparently his rucksack saved his life.
