Pte. Robert McCready

British Army

from:Liverpool

I always knew that Robert McCready, my uncle (and godfather) had been a prisoner of war. He was from Liverpool and had volunteered before war broke out and was part of the BEF and captured in France. He, therefore, spent most of the war as a POW. I have recently unearthed some family papers which indicate that he was at Stalag XX1B but I don't know whether he was there for the whole time or also in other camps. He spoke good German but hid this fact from his captors, and maybe this might have made him remembered by some comrades. I would love to hear from anyone who knew him.
