WHERE ARE THEY NOW? I joined the British Army in Nineteen Thirty-Nine I really did enjoy myself and thought that life was fine But in France I was captured a Royal West Kent Pride of the Army but to Deutschland I went. Into a big Stalag they called it VIII B We had breakfast, no dinner and no blooming tea They sent us out working we were just skin and bone And Mittenbruck Silesia became our new home There I met lots of pals t'was long, long ago But where are they now that's what I'd like to know Gerry Rush and Mick Dowling slept in the next bed And a fellow called Andrews he slept overhead. Sgt. Don Eager or Edgar I'm never quite sure He helped me a lot when conditions were poor And young Ginger Kett with his mout organ band Called Kat and his Kit-Kats were really quite grand And to all other chaps who were held by the "Hun" In that little old camp called E91 If you remember ole Book and Benny his mate Then let's get in touch before it's too late! This is a poem written by my Father, Arthur Booker, if anyone remembers him or his fellow POW's please get in touch. Can you help us to add to our records? Add a record to our website.
