240796 Spr. Rex Pearson British Army 262nd Field Company Royal Engineers Sapper Rex Pearson 262 Field Company, Royal Engineers spent his
time as a POW in Poland. He was registered to Stalag XXA which consisted
of a number of camps located in some of the 24, 19 century underground
forts around Thorn, various hutted sites, work camps and farms. He would like to contact any of his old comrades who were in
these camps at the same time as he was.
Please contact via his son-in-law, Mike Roach
Update: Thanks for publishing my father in laws details on your site. It has
resulted in a contact from the family of a Frank Curtis, Australian Army,
who was shot at Stalag XXA in September 1943. A chance in a million but my
father in law has a record of him being shot but cannot remember the
incident. He was witness to a number of shootings, including one the long
march out of Poland to freedom in 1945. He has been able to provide a lot of
unknown information for the family together where Frank is now buried. My
father in law is now researching amongst his POW friends who are still alive
to see if they can throw any more light on the subject.
Keep up the good work.
