Gnr. Alfred Thomas Martindale MiD.. British Army Light Anti-Aircraft Royal Artillary from Liverpool I am the half sister of Tom Martindale, but I knew nothing of his existence until starting to delve into family history. We met for the first time just over twenty years ago, and just in time for he died shortly afterwards. I have since discovered how brave my big brother was. His name is on The London Omnibus List for gallant and distinguished services in the field, and he is "mentioned in despatches".
He was captured at Mechilion on the 8th of April 1941 and sent via Gapua, Bolzano, Sulmona and Aquila to Campo 78 in Sulmona. During his short time in Bolzano he and several other POW's had escaped from guards while out walking. He made his way towards Switzerland travelling mostly at night, but was recaptured and sent back to camp. He then escaped from campo 78, after the armistice was organised by the senior British officer, and walked South with another escapee meeting British troops at Termoli on 3rd of October 1943.
I am in possession of his war medals and ribbons and also of his prisoner tags and a signet ring on a piece of string. My half sister (his sister too) who is now 100 years of age has been able to give me most of this information.

William Hugh Martindale . Canadian Army from Canada I am looking for any information on my grandfather William Hugh Martindale. He served in the war either as Canadian Army or British Navy. My mother was put up for adoption at a very young age and so we have very little information about him, other than he did serve in the war and he was married for a time to Nora Shaw. They lived at some point in Ontario Canada.
Thank you!

Melesio V. Martinez . United States Army My father was in Stalag 7A from 1944 through to the end of the war. His name was Melesio V. Martinez and he lived in Karnes City, Texas. I would like to find information about him. My dad passed away before I could get him to talk about his war experiences in more detail than he did. He was a very decorated soldier. Can anyone help?
Update
Have you visited Moosberg Online? It is an excellent site which covers the development of Stalag 7A through the war and after.

Staff Sgt. Frederic C. Martini . USAAF 551st Bomb Squadron from Coney Island  NY Staff Sgt. Frederic C. Martini was stationed with the B-17's at Gt. Ashfield, Suffolk, England. He was a Flight Engineer & Top Turret Gunner. I lived in Stowmarket, a small town about ten miles from Gt. Ashfield. I had no idea my future brother-in-law was stationed so close by. I was only seven. Later I would tease Fred, asking him if he was the American Air Force fellow we picked up along the road one evening, heading for Gt. Ashfield. We took him home to have a meal with us and my mother fed him the last egg we had, being on strict rationing at that time. I asked Fred if he was that fellow and his reply had nothing to do with eggs! Unfortunately, I can't tell you his reply here anyway!
Fred's B-17 was shot down three times. Once they ditched in the English Channel near a rescue buoy & were picked up by the RAF Air-Sea Rescue; another time they crash-landed in a British field; the third time they went down over France & Fred was taken in by the French Underground. However, someone turned him in & he spent time in Buchenwald until they were liberated. He didn't talk much about those times

WTel. Alfred Arthur Martyr . Royal Navy HMS Nigeria (d.12th Aug 1942) Alfred Martyr was killed in action on 12/08/1942 whilst serving on HMS Nigeria. I presumed then buried at sea. I see that the date is that of the attacks on the Convoy to relieve Malta, Operation Pedestal. The records show that the Nigeria was badly damaged in the attack.
Should anyone have further information on the incidents on that day or indeed any details regarding Alfred I would be very interested.
