Pte Joseph Button . British Army 11th Battalion Durham Light Infantry from Easington, Durham Joseph Button served with the 11th Battalion, Durham Light Infantry. He was taken as a Prisoner of War and held in Stalag VIIIB from the 17th of August 1940, His POW number was 344/96355. He was discharged under King's Regulations 1940 Para 390 (xvi) on the 6th of November 1945.
I never met him as he died back in 1963 at the age of 49. His step daughter told me the nurses had tremendous respect for him as the story goes he escaped numerous times. I've also been told he used to shuffle on his heels and I'm thinking could this have been injuries sustained from the Death March?
