Fus. Gordon Wright
British Army
from:Warrington
My father Gordon Wright was taken prisoner on the island of Leros in Greece in November 1943 and eventually ended up in Stalag XIa, escaping in April 1945 along with a soldier from New Zealand and another from Manchester. He was put to work in a stone quarry in Wernigerode. After escaping they hid in the woods for a week, finally giving themselves up to Americans and eventually being repatriated.
