Cpl. Robert Peden . British Army Lothian and Border Horse My father, Cpl Robert Peden, Lothian and Border Horse, as far as I can gather, was captured at St Valery and spent all or most of the war in Stalag VIIIB/344. I have a number of family photos with the camp stamp on and recall him telling me that at one point Douglas Bader was there for a while before being transferred elsewhere. In keeping with many POW's, my father was reluctant to talk about his time as a prisoner. On the few occasions that he did drop his guard, he told me of soup containing a horse’s eye, making spirit from potatoes and being allowed to leave the camp to go to a nearby village to collect a piano. This was to allow the POW's to entertain themselves and he brought it back apparently with the aid of a wheelbarrow.
I think that he did mention becoming a 'trustee'. He did once talk about being on a forced march where men died but I do not know any of the detail. I have a photo with 'Friewaldan May 1943' written on the back As far as I can gather, Freiwaldan is in Austria so I suspect that my father may have been in another camp at some point.
If anyone knows any of the others in either of the photographs or can help fill in the gaps in my knowledge I would be most grateful. My father passed away in 1996 and I have no other means of increasing my knowledge of this time in his life.

P/O. Douglas W. Peers . Royal Air Force 101 Squadron from Canada (d.13th Aug 1944) I am a currently serving RCAF Flight Engineer currently researching Mr D.W. Peers, a Canadian who was a Flt Sgt that became a Plt Officer with 101 Squadron, lost over Germany in a Lancaster and buried in Brunswick, Germany.
I possess his training leather flying helmet that I am planning to present to his only daughter and grandson as a family memento. I'm hoping to have more of his history for his shadow box of when he was with 101 Squadron in order to help them get more information of the father/grandfather they never met.

Pte. Owen Peers . British Army 18th Btn. Reconnaissance Corps from 36 Laurel Crescent, Hindley Green, Wigan Owen Peers was my Grandad, 36 years old at the start of WW2 and in a reserved occupation, but he still volunteered. He was captured by the Japanese at the fall of Singapore. He used to recall with wry humour that his battalion landed just in time to surrender. He also clearly remembered loosing his false teeth when his troopship was sunk, although judging by what he had to eat over the next three and a half years, it didn't really trouble him. He returned to spend the rest of his working life in the coal mines and passed away, age 70, in 1973.

Sgt. Thomas Pegler . Royal Air Force 219 Squadron from Whitchurch, Herefordshire Dad, Tom Pegler was the navigator of Mosquito FK-E piloted by Jack Bremner, who was from the London area. He would never tell anyone what they were detailed to do, other than theirs was a Night Fighter Squadron.
He did tell me, however, one summer morning retuning to Acklington over the North Sea, the tops of the clouds were perfectly flat, so being the 'good airmen' they were, they did several practice landings on the top of the clouds until they realised the rest of the section had disappeared.
When they landed, everyone else had been back safely for several minutes and concern was shown for them. When he and Jack got to the briefing room, they were asked why they were late. 'Port engine, sir, got a bit hot so I shut it down' was the reply.
After debrefing, they got their flying kit off and hit the sack.
They hadn't been in bed long when the tannoy went, 'Will the crew of E for Easy report to the boss at once' (I use the word 'boss' because he never stated the rank of the man to whom they were answerable). They had to get their flying kit on again before they they went, but duly arrived. 'I've had that port engine run up - there's **** all wrong with it- now what were you actually doing?' '.'Practising landing on the clouds, sir.'
I cannot repeat what was said, suffice it to say he went ballistic and their proverbial cards were marked.
I believe they didn't do it again!

Tel. Ernest Leonard Pegrum . Royal Navy HMS Nelson from Hertfordshire Just looking at my Grandfather’s naval service medals and they cover both wars. His names was Ernest Pegrum, he signed up in 1917 aged 15 and was on various training ships until August 1919 when he served on HMS Dragon. Ernest and his brother George (Royal Marine) were in Canada escorting HRH Prince of Wales and (I believe) the Royal Family and I have a postcard showing him and some of the crew at a roadside halt. A few months later in October/November HMS Dragon was involved in a conflict in Russia where she was involved in shelling the Latvian coast and sustained some casualties. My Grandfather was signed off in 1928.
I do not have the WWII service records yet but have a beautiful Crossing the Equator certificate dated 9.4.1941 with Cape Town in the background and the silhouettes of ships that were (presumably) in the convoy. I recall my mother saying he was torpedoed on HMS Nelson. I believe that he served on HMS Pasley in 1945. I understand around D Day the Nelson and the Dragon were in Portsmouth at the same time (I wonder what Grandad thought on seeing his old ship). HMS Dragon was later damaged in an attack and scuttled as a Mulberry harbour breakwater.
I would just like him to be remembered. He never said much about it of course – or I was too young to listen.

Pte. Paul Henry Peillon . New Zealand Medical Corps 6th Field Ambulance from Auckland My grandfather Paul Peillon was a stretcher bearer and orderly in the war. He was taken prisoner about 13th of December 1941 and held in PG52 in Italy. He was repatriated on 22nd of April 1943 and died in October 1947. I know very little beyond the small amount in his war record. Would love to know more if anyone can help.
