Krys . Polish People's Army
My father was sent to Stalag XVIIc. Apparently he had participated in the 1944 Warsaw Uprising and had surrendered in October 1944 and was marched off to Pongau. How can I verify his internment at Stalag 317? He did not, apparently, use his real name. It seems most AK (Armia Krajowa-AK) fighters had falsified papers.

Sylvia Italia Maria Kung . Women's Land Army from 6 Western Gardens, Edinburgh
Sylvia Kung (or Lavet) was my late husband's mother. I should be interested to find out more about her and what she did in the Land Army during the War. She was born in Rivoli, Italy in 1924. It's believed that she was working on a farm (possibly the Park Farm),in Earlston, Scottish Borders. It was here she met my late husband's father by whom she became pregnant in August 1944. My husband was born out of wedlock 19 May 1945 and sadly,he never had the privelege of meeting, or indeed, knowing anything about his father, other than he was possibly an Italian prisoner of war, and approximately 5-6 years older than his mother. I'm sorry I don't have any further information which may be of help, the only 'evidence' is a photo of his parents taken about 1944.

After the war he continued his army career with postings in Palestine and Egypt. He met his wife Mary in Egypt when she was serving in WRAC. He later took a commission into the RASC and completed his 40 years service as a Major. He died in 1984.
