213619 Pte. Cyril Brett British Army Queens Own Royal West Kent Regiment Like so many my late father - Cyril Brett a private in the Royal West Kent, spoke little of his time in Lamsdorf. His POW number was 902, and he was captured in May 1940 at Dunkirk. He did mention a few things - breaking the thick deposits from the sugar refining vats and unloading sugar beet, making rings from old toothbrushes with amyl acetate, and one day sweeping his way out of the camp, until he was recaptured soon after. As always I didn't ask the questions in time and have not recognised him in any of the photos. I think he destroyed all his memorabilia when my mother died as he didn't want anyone to share those memories. Their best man was called Jim (a Scot, did they share time together at Lamsdorf?). If anyone does know of his time please get in touch.
