World War 2 Two II WW2 WWII
Those who Served
It is not possible to fully understand the history of the Second World War without refering to the forces of the Axis.The Wartime Memories Project is purely a historical resource and the information contacted in this section is for historical educational. We are a Non Political organisation and do not support the ideas of The Third Riech, we simply present the facts.
Tolu Pacifico . from Italy)
My father,Tolu Pacifico was a prisoner in SomerhillCamp,Tonbridge. I would like to get some information about the camp At the moment I am looking for an Irish Lady called Mary he met there. can anyone help me in this search ?
William Pancazyk . from Ukraine)
I wonder if anyone can help me. My mother's partner, Bill Pancazyk was telling me that he had owned a book written by an internee from the camp at Botesdale, Diss. Bill himself, and his brothers were imprisoned at Botesdale between 1949 – 1952. He remembers bits about it and every time he tells me a story he starts to cry. I find this very moving. He also told me that he had owned a book written by a Ukrainian who was also imprisoned in the same camp at the same time. He cannot remember the author’s name. This book was published in Canada – from what I can gather – Bill was so pleased with this book as it actually mentioned him and his brothers (who were in the choir) in the camp. He lent the book to other Ukrainian friends and ultimately it got lost. He is very distraught about this. If anyone could help me locate this book it would certainly make Bill a very very happy man, he is a lovely gently chap, salt of the earth. His memory about this book and his time served at the camp is very vivid. If anybody can help me I would be extremely grateful – I have scoured the internet to no avail.
