Cpl J W Horseman Durham Light Infantry My father was Cpl J W Horseman 4454335 (after WW2 I was adopted hence change of name). He was captured in North Africa in June 1942 whilst serving with the DLI. He was in Campo 75 and Campo 70 in Italy before being sent to Stalag IVB and then Stalag IVF. I have no information on his period in capitivity other than he came back to the UK via 91 Reception Centre.
If there is any one out there who knew him or can fill in any details I would appreciate it. |
AC2 Ralph Harrison I am wondering if there is anyone who remembers my dad, Ralph Harrison, who was stationed as an AC2 in Egypt. He was seconded to the Army and was at a lighthouse in the Red Sea(?), possibly Libya. He was captured on 30th June 1942 by the Italians and taken to a prison camp somewhere near Milan, then was taken to Stalag 4F and then onto Stalag 4B near Dresden where he stayed until liberated at the end of the war. Sadly, Dad died some years ago and he never spoke of his time in the war as it affected him very badly, but I would love to hear from anyone who may have known him. |
Pvt. Edmund A. Lojko Purple Heart 101st Airborne Division My Grandfather, Edmund Lojko recently passed away and I am trying to find information on his WWII history. He would seldom talk about it. I know he was a paratrooper with the 101st Airborne Division, Screamin Eagles. He was taken prisoner 3 times, escaped twice, and released at the end of the war from Stalag 4f. I also know that he received a Purple Heart and a Bronze Star. But I want to know more.
I am looking for anyone who may have known him during the war. I would really like hear any stories and see any pictures, etc. |
Gunner Leonard Edward Sales Royal Artillery My father was held in Stalag 4F after escaping from the Italian ski troops. He would not say anything about his captivity other than to say he worked on the railway. As I have pictures of him with Indian soldiers around Basra I think he was with the 4th Indian fighting in the desert. I believe his period of captivity ranged from 1942 until 1945. His POW number was 250097. Since his death last year I have been trying to find out more about his service. If you or anybody can help I would be grateful. |
Cpl. Gerald Lawrence Baxter Platoon runner. Signals Corps My late father Gerald Baxter would not talk of his experiences other than that he was in North Africa (Tobruk) and then as a POW.
The information I have is that he was a Signalman and Platoon runner in South African 2nd Infantry
and saw action in the North African Campaign, being captured at Tobruk. He was a POW in Italy (believe it was in the Po river valley area) but then escaped and was recaptured. He was traken to Germany to Stalag 4F Hartmannsdorf (POW No: 263029) He was demobilized and returned to South Africa at the end of the war.
I would be extremely grateful for any addtional information. |
Pte. John Hay Suttie I'm really hoping somebody out there can help me with some information about my late father, John Hay Suttie. I'm afraid I know very little as dad didn't like to talk much about his days as a POW during WW2 and understandably so.
I do know he was a POW in Italy and then evidently he was at Stalag 4f at Hartsmannsdorf and was repatriated around 1947 or 1948.
I would be very grateful to hear from anybody who can tell me anything else about my dad who sadly passed away in 1985. Thank you in anticipation.
