Pte. Henry James Martin . British Army 9th Battalion Royal Sussex Regiment from Greenwich, London I was 4 1/2 years old before I met my Father, Henry Martin. I don't know when he joined the army but my birth certificate says he was a Private in the Royal Sussex Regiment, however it doesn't give the battalion number. It is said that he served in Burma, which would make it the 9th battalion. Apparently he was a changed man when he came back. I'd like to know what happened to him.

Cpl. John Michael Martin . British Army 6th Battalion, D coy. Kings Own British Borders from Sunderland (d.4th Oct 1944) The Fighting Fools
by Cpl John Michael Martin,
D-Coy 6th KOSB
16th July 1944
Remember that hill termed 113?
To many just a number,
Except the KOSB
But wait,I'll tell it to you right
Of the KOSB's brave and gallant fight.
Though their numbers were few,
They did not quail,
They had been given a task,
And they would not fail.
They would hold that ground,
Come what may,
And though cut off,
Kept the Hun at bay.
The Boche tried everything they knew,
To try and make a big breakthrough,
But they'd underestimated those heroes all,
Who, before they'd retreat,
Decided to fight or fall,
So they took the strain and did not flinch,
And the Boche advanced not a single inch.
So praise those lads of the 6/KOSB
Whose stand made possible this victory,
Unknown till now, they've made their name,
And covered their Regiment with undying fame.
Cpl. John Martin was wounded in action and died at 4 am on the 4th Oct 1944 in 39th British General Hospital - due to a shell wound to his neck which left him paralised. He is buried in the Brussels Town Cemetary.

He was attached to E565 working party for a short time before being sent to Milowitz E535. While he was at E565 he lost a fried called Peter Hidden. Peter was buried in the local cemetery and then transferred to Radowicki Cemetery, Cracow.
I am doing some research into Dad’s activities during his time as a POW. In his collection of photos is a copy of a picture taken of Peter Hidden’s grave. (4th January 1944). I wonder if anyone can recall either my father or Peter Hidden. I am particularly interested in the circumstances of Peter’s death. If you are able to offer any assistance I would be pleased to hear from you.
