Pte Fred Essex Burch

British Army 2nd Btn. Royal West Kent Regiment

from:Faversham, Kent

My Father, Fred Burch was a guest at Stalag IVb after his capture in Leros in 1944. I have his hand written diaries from his enlistment into 2 Bn RWK until his discharge in 1945. I have produced a word document of his story of his times in Malta and the Greek Islands. He was the last living member of the 2nd Battalion Royal West Kents. He would never ever talk about his time at Muhlberg to me or my sister apart from when he was dying in Kent and Canterbury Hospital at age 89. A copy of his memoirs is lodged with the Royal West Kents Museum in Maidstone,Kent. Anyone who wants a copy may E Mail me. I hope to visit the site of IVB this year (2013).
