Sgt. William Edwards

British Army Nottinghamshire Yeomanry

from:Leicester

My father, Bill Edwards, was captured at Crete and imprisoned at Stalag 8b. I believe he was the first soldier to be repatriated to Leicester. This action was mainly because he was suffering from what was then known as disseminated sclerosis (later changed to MS), diagnosed when he arrived home. It was also known as 'dropped feet'. My father never talked about his experiences at Stalag 8b, as it seems very few did.

If anyone has further information about my father, please contact me.
