Leslie Whiteland

British Royal Engineers

My father-in-law, Lesley Whiteland, RE2112887 was captured in Greece in 1941 and taken to Stalag XVIIID in Marberg (Austria) now Slovenia. He was later taken to a camp in Sieradtz which I believe is in Poland from which he escaped in 1944. I would like any information on this camp and I have a photo taken in this camp with the following people on 23rd February 1942:

  • Gunner J Devlin RA. Scotland
  • Gunner F Backhouse RA. London
  • RFL C Walker KRR. South Africa
  • Cpl F Kingsford RE. Weymouth
  • L/C R Handley RN.F London
  • Pvt W Smith RWK. Southampton
  • Pvt E Cowens DLIN. ewcastle
  • Pvt T Tompkinson Glos R. Bristol
  • Pvt G Gardner QRR. London

    Any help in finding out more would be very welcome.
