L/Cpl. Stanley Henry Gordon Elliott
British Army 1BDE Oxfordshire & Buckinghamshire Light Infantry
from:Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire
My grandfather, Stanley Elliott, died back in the UK when I was very young, after emigrating to Australia with his family in 1951, and from stories my mother has told, he didn't like to speak about his time in the war.
From the information I have researched he was captured during the retreat at Dunkirk in 1940 and sent to Stalag XXA in Thorn (Torun) for the rest of the war.
If anyone has any photos or information about him during that time, I would be extremely grateful.
