John Victor Godwin
British Army Royal Horse Artillery

My father John Victor Goodwin, Royal Horse Artillery, he was captured on Crete after being shot by German parachutists. He was a prisoner in Stalag xxa Thorn Poland from 1941 to 1945. he had a great friend in Sgt Dennis Glover who he met in the camp. I have a few photographs one with Sam Kydd appearing in a camp play, he managed to escape on the march with Dennis Glover and was released by the Russians. His POW number was 25931, sadly he died on June 6th 2004 very fittingly. Sadly before we found this web site. If there is still anyone out there who knew my father as a prisoner I would love to hear from you, as I have lots of items from the camp and lots of memories.
