F/Lt Robert Lambert .     Royal Air Force

As a child of 2 in 1942 I lived with my parents and older sister Claire on the coast road in Silloth.

My father, Flight Lieutenant Robert Lambert,(Coastal Command) had been posted there from Squires Gate, Blackpool as Flying Control Officer and served at Silloth until sometime in 1943 when he was posted to Reyjavik, Iceland (now Squadron Leader) as FCO.

We then moved from Silloth to Hawkshead in the Lake District. Being only 3 at the time I remember very little else other than going for a fizzy pop to the Skinburness Hotel.

Dvr. Stanley Lambert .     British Army 314 Coy. Royal Army Service Corps

My father Stanley Lambert, was at the Normandy landings in June 1944 as a driver with the RASC. I don't know which beach he landed at, think it was Gold. He also drove the ammunition truck to Arnhem. He was reproted missing believed killed in Dec.1944 but was in hiding with an American in the woods near to a German camp. He told me they could hear the Germans talking and took one of their jeeps and were able to get back to their units.

I'd like to hear from anyone who knew him, particularly Dixie Dean, Harry Austin, Reg Cluitt, Charlie Saunders, Jack Gudgeon, and Percy Berlose. I am trying to find out exactly what my father did in the war, all I know is he was a driver with the RASC B section 314 company.




Sgt. Thomas Lambert .     British Army 9th Battalion Kings Royal Rifle Corps   from Lambeth,London

Thomas Lambert was captured in Crete on 3rd July 1941 - though some records suggests it was 28th May 1941. He remained in the camp until he was liberated on 11th May 1945. He was demobbed at Knella Hall in Winchester in August 1947 and went home to his family in Battersea, London.

He then joined the Royal London Territorial Army (London Rifle Brigade Rangers) on 29th September 1965 he retired from service at the age of 54, after 18 years service and was commended by the Lord Mayor of London for his service.

In his civilian life he had worked for British Gas since the 1930s and retired in March 1972. His wife passed away in May 1981 and he remarried. He died peacefully at home on 18th February 2004. His second wife survived him by four years.

Gnr. Joseph Christus Lambon .     British Army 81st Anti-Tank Regiment Royal Artillery   from Birmingham

My father Joe Lambon served as an anti-tank gunner in the 81st Anti-Tank Regiment (RA) as part of the First Division from 1942 to the end of the war. He served in North Africa, Sicily and Italy, being captured at Anzio when his gun (along with 23 others) were overrun. His last 16 months were as a prisoner in various camps, Stalag 4B being the last one.

I know he was repatriated by the US Army at the end of the war and after a few weeks at home signed up to go out to Palestine where he served for at least 12 months. He lived the rest of his life in peace working in a factory and tending his garden. He spoke very little about the war despite a very excited little boy in the 1960's (me) asking him about his experiences every time a war movie came on TV. I formed the opinion his war time experiences had a deep, profound effect on him.

I doubt there are many left out there who will remember him. However, if anyone has information relating to either this camp or other soldiers who fought in the 81st please get in touch.

Sgt. Percie Lambshead MM..     British Army Duke of Cornwalls Light Infantry   from Newquay

My father, Percie Lambshead, joined the Territorials in 1938 and was called up in 1939. He served with the Duke of Cornwall's Light Infantry in WW2. His battalion was sent to guard the beaches in Kent in 1940 being told that they would all die. He then guarded Falmouth Docks. Dad underwent commando training in Scotland for the invasion of Norway, but this never happened. He was then involved in commando raids from HMS Prince Leopold in the English Channel. He landed with the 4th Infantry Division with Operation Torch and fought at the Battle of Cactus Farm. Dad was in the chase to Cape Bonn being attacked by spitfires. At the lighthouse, on taking the surrender of Germans, they opened fire causing casualties. The Duke of Cornwall's Light Infantry battalion was then disbanded forming a Cornish Company in the King's Shropshire Light Infantry. Dad was in the 1st Division which invaded Panterlera. Following a bout of jaundice, he returned to his unit prior to the invasion of Anzio. His company was the furthest forward at the flyover. Every officer was injured and my father led the company. For this action he was awarded the Military Medal. On the breakout from Anzio, his platoon was hit by a mortar with every man injured. For the rest of the war he was on courses.
