Kenneth L Barry I am currently renovating a house
in the north of England, and while digging the garden last week I
found a dog tag for a US serviceman by the name of Kenneth L Barry.
Research via the internet shows that he was captured in France and was
sent to Stalag 3A and was also liberated by the Russians. I'm wondering
if anyone out there has any memories of this guy or better still knows
kept in touch with him after the War. I would love to get to the bottom
of this mystery.

PFC. Donald L. Huffman 310th Infantry Regiment Donald L. Huffma was captured on 16th of December 1944 at Kesternich, Germany. His unit had been ordered to stay in a ditch during a tank attack and wait there until more troops arrived. They waited for hours, but no troops arrived. Finding an empty house nearby, he and some others moved at dusk into the house and waited for dawn in hopes that American troops would arrive and take out the Germans. During the night they could hear equipment being moved and when they looked out they could see the road was full of German troops. The next morning, three German officers who spoke English told them that they could surrender or be burned out with flame throwers. So they surrendered.
Donald and his fellow POWs were taken by truck to a collection point at Duisberg. They were loaded into cattle cars and for 2 days and 3 nights, without food or water, were transported to Stalag III-A in Luckenwalde. There, he volunteered for a work detail and was transported through Berlin to a satellite camp in Perleberg. His main diet consisted of rutabaga soup. In his almost 6 months in captivity, he lost 50 pounds. He and his comrades were rescued by US Army as the POWs were being marched to Lubeck, 100 miles away from Perleberg.

Fus. John Alexander Creery Royal Scots Fusiliers My father, John Creery, was a prisoner of war for 5 years. I have learnt that he was in Luckenwalde Camp Stalag IIIA. I remember him telling us stories about being so hungry he ate raw cabbages and raw potatoes and of finding men hanging in the toilets that couldn't take any more. I have to say none of his stories were happy ones. The only thing I found funny was someone gave him some cigarettes but he didn't smoke. So, he asked someone to try and get him some toothpaste as he was proud of his teeth and missed cleaning them. He did get some which he was glad for.
I remember my granny saying he went away a young man with lots of curly hair and came back like an old man with very little hair. He was awarded his wages on a cart by the lord mayor of his home town which was the Shankill Road, Belfast.
He continued to work for the British Legion until he retired.

S/Sgt. Ray Halliburton K Co., 3rd Btn. 10th Infantry Regiment Ray Halliburton was drafted into the US Army in 1944 and went to basic training at Camp Walters, in Mineral Wells, Texas. He was a corporal when he went ashore in France in July 1944, one month after D-Day. He was a member of K Company, 3rd Battalion, 10th Infantry Regiment, 5th Infantry (Red Diamond) Division, in Gen. George Patton's Third Army.
He fought three months of fierce combat across 500 miles and had risen to staff sergeant and squad leader. He was 20 years old. He was captured on 5th of December 1944, just outside Saarbrucken, Germany, when his unit advanced ahead of the others. In April 1945, the Soviet Army liberated him from Stalag 3A in Luckenwalde, Germany.

Lt. Howard Kenneth Hinds Co. E, 414th Infantry Regiment    Lt. Howard Hinds was captured in Belgium on 24th of October 1944. He was moved to several interim camps and ultimately to Oflag 64 in Szubin, Poland. On or about 24th of January 1945, he was marched from Oflag 64, in one of seven columns, westward into Germany. He arrived at Stalag IIIA in March 1945. The Russians liberated them in late April. What the Germans did not take (food, blankets, etc.) when they fled, the Russians commandeered.
Lt. Hinds heard talk of being taken to Odessa, Russia. From the camp, he could see POWs being loaded into rail cars. He had already been in rail cars on the trip from Belgium to Poland. He knew Odessa was not the direction he wanted to go, so he decided to escape. The Russian guards were neither numerous nor vigilant. When Lt. Hinds saw his opportunity, he ran for an opening in a fence. He could hear footsteps behind him and expected to be shot. As he rolled under the fence and looked around, he saw a French officer who had also decided to escape. They hiked by night and hid by day. At one point they stole a chicken to eat and later bicycles. They had no common language and could only communicate using hand gestures. They finally made it to an American unit and were repatriated.

Pte. Charles Frederick Webb Parachute Regiment My Uncle, Charlie Webb, served in the Parachute Regiment in WW2. He parachuted down near Arnhem where he was shot in the leg and was taken prisoner.

Cpl. Patrick McGovern Royal Irish Fusiliers My uncle, Pat McGovern, joined the Royal Irish Fusiliers, the same regiment his father, Thomas McGovern, was in during WW1.
He saw action in the Atlantic, Malta, Italy, and Monte Cassino. He was captured at Leron. I understand from my cousin, that he was captured as a POW on the Greek island of Leros before being transported to Berlin via Athens. He then served the remainder of the war in Stalag IIIA, Luckenwalde. I personally recall seeing his German Arbeidspasse, so I assume like many others he was sent out to labour locally.
We have photos of his medals which include an award for gallantry. I am still researching the detail of his medals.

Pte. John Andrew Richard "Irish" Thompson Essex Scottish Regiment My father, John Thompson, joined the 2nd World War effort through the Canadian armed forces on 20th of May 1940.
He had left his home in Limivady Ireland to find work and a better life and had been working as a farm hand in the Leamington area before joining up. He often recalled that his motivation for joining was related to protecting his beloved Ireland and his family still living there. He believed that if England were to fall to the Germans then Ireland would surely follow, but of course not without a fight.
Dad did basic training in Canada and subsequently trained as a commando in Britain before being deployed by ship n the infamous raid on Dieppe. Being one of the first off the boats he was fortunate to make it to the beach wall before the Germans opened up in full force. During the course of the battle that fateful morning he was badly wounded by a mortar blast. He recalled German soldiers walking down the beach taking prisoners and shooting those who death had not yet released from their hell. He tried to feign death amongst other dead soldiers where he lay at the bottom of a mortar crater on the beach. However the Germans, discovered him and took him prisoner. He spent the remainder of the war as a prisoner being shunted to several different camps, the last being Stalag IIIa in Luckenwalde. He told me of the generally poor living conditions there, with little food, terrible hygiene and rampant disease. Many men were afflicted by lice and dysentery. He noted that he often traded cigarettes or chocolate provided through the Red Cross with German guards or with Italian prisoners of war, for bread and anything else he could get to eat.
He participated in various work parties, under guard outside of the camp. As the war came to an end, he recalled the sight of the Russian army coming in to liberate the camp and through which he was eventually repatriated through England back to Canada. He was awarded the Dieppe medal, the Canadian volunteer service medal and the 1939-45 star defense medal. He received his discharge on 27th of October 1945 from the Wosely Barracks in Windsor, Ontario.
Dad suffered both physically and mentally as the result of the poorly treated wounds and his horrific war experiences. In midlife, he was hospitalized and treated for a nervous breakdown which would now undoubtedly be referred to as post-traumatic stress disorder.
Despite this, Dad enjoyed life, particularly in the outdoor and was an avid fisherman and hunter through his entire life. He became a highly successful buyer for the Simccoe Leaf Tobacco Company in Simcoe Ontario, and ultimately a Vice-President of that organization.
In 1952, he married Jean Agnes Robertson, who had been in the Women's Air Force, stationed at the bomber training school in Jarvis Ontario. They had two sons, Kevin Richard Thompson and Dean Gordon Thompson who remember, honor and respect him for the many sacrifices he made not only for his immediate family, but for his native country of Ireland and his adopted country of Canada as well.

Pte. Charles Edward Morrison 17th Field Artilley Group    My Uncle, Ed Morrison, was stationed in Tunisia, North Africa with the 17th Field Artillery Group. These undermanned Allies were overwhelmed by a large Nazi contingent under the Leadership of German Field Marshall Erwin Rommel and his Nazi Afrika Korps.
Ed was captured by the German attack force on 14th of February 1943. After several relocations, including attacks on German aircraft he was in by American pilots unaware their fellow soldiers were on board. These men were also marched mercilessly in sub-zero temperatures with little food or clothing. He and his fellow prisoners, spent the remainder of World War 2 surviving in the inhumane confines of P.O.W. camps USA KD01, Stalags 7A, 3A and Nazi Stalag 3B located in Furstenberg, Germany near the Polish border.
Ed and his Brothers in Arms spent over two years incarcerated. He saw many horrors of war, he was punished, in one instance, caught,with potato peelings in his pocket to help a fellow soldier who was sick, to a stint in solitary confinement.
Uncle Ed survived Stalag 3b, he came home to Middlesboro and worked for 40 years at Kentucky Utilities and raising his wonderful family. My Uncle is a warm, kind, gentle husband, father, brother, uncle and friend to many. He is a hero to me, although he would always say " The heroes are the ones who didn't come home".
