Ron F. Lancaster

British Army Royal Artillery

My grandfather, Ron F Lancaster 1520782 Royal Artillery, was captured on 26th May 1940 at Dunkirk. He was marched to Stalag XXB in Poland where he remained a POW until 9th May 1945, a short stocky Welshman who may have worked as a blacksmith in nearby farms whist at the camp. Escaped at some point and received 9 inch bayonet wound on his back when recaptured, this only healed by guards giving him salt to clean the wound. He was discharged on 15th February 1946 at the Savoy hotel in Bournemouth. If this jogs any memories I would be very grateful to hear from you.
