Sgt. Ray Horace Brook Searle

Royal Air Force 218 Squadron

from:London

My father, Raymond Horace Brook Searle, was shot down whilst on a bombing raid on 27/28th August 1943. He was the wireless operator. He was sent to camp Stalag IVB and stayed there until liberation by the Russians. He wrote a diary for most of the first year of his imprisonment which we only discovered after he died. An awful lot of it talks about food or rather the lack of it and also all the illnesses. He died peacefully in 2005.
