W/O Graham "Winnie" Winton

Royal Canadian Air Force 115 Sqn.

from:Jacquet River, New Brunswick, canada

May 1945 dancing at the Club Ambaasy Bloor St.Aera, my hero to be ask me to dance, we were united most nights dancing and long walks. It lasted to Feb.1946, we said good-bye via air mail. The last line from him was "I shall remember you till the end of time".

Graham Winton joined up in 1940, went overseas 1941, joined Sqn 115 Markam.u.k. sortie 6/7 to Bremen on Sept.4/5th 1942. They were shot down & captured. Graham had a sprained ankle. He found it hard to walk. He was taken to Frankfurt,treated to the same treatment as all the other POW's. After 2 to 3 weeks his slow journey to Lamesdorf, Stalag 8b in Poland. He was chained, and treated as all the others. His crew were there. He did not see them for some time. As far as I can tell he must have been in hut 16 or 17, no.27008. When things moved along and man power was getting low he could move about and see his friend.

I have just had my 90th birthday. To end this history I have the blessing of a table mate, who was captured in Holland, was a pow in the German work force he worked around Stalag 8b. We have a lot to read and talk about. We just finished the book by H. Greasley. "Do the Birds Still Sing in Hell". His journey there are on most of the roads that my friend traveled on. Lest we forget blessings to all these heros, may they be remembered till the end of time.
