Medical Orderley William Sampson . British Army 10th Btn Royal Berkshire Regiment My late father William (Bill) Sampson was captured at Anzio early February 1944. He was a medical orderly and was in the 10th Battalian, The Royal Berkshire Regiment.
He was actually captured attending to an injured German soldier. He was transported to IV B by road via Rome and was in Transit camp FP31979 before ending up in IV B and stayed there until his release 23rd April 1945 by the Russians. His POW number was 279561.
I personally visited the camp in Muhlberg in 1999 and there is a museum in Muhlberg which I have also been to. The Museum has many photographs/maps etc. of which I have donated some new documents/maps/phots etc to the museum which opened after the reunification of Germany. The Russians refused to allow a museum to be opened until that time. I have also visited the war graves around the camp.
The address of the museum is:
Initiativgruppe Lager Muhlberg e.V., Klostersrtasse 9, 04931, Muhlberg/Elbe, Germany
The curator is Angelica Stamm who is very helpful.
There is a 21 page information book which I have translated into English which gives the full history of the camp until it closed in 1948. I would recommend anyone to visit the museum and the site which still retains some basic outline of the camp. It is open Tuesdays to Thursdays 13.00 to 16.00 pm and every 1st and 3rd Sunday of the month between 13.00 and 16.00pm. Telephone number is +49 35342 706 87.
If any one wants to get any further information from me please do not hesitate to contact me.
If anyone remembers my dad who lived in London, I would of course be very happy to hear from them. |

James Alfred Sams . Royal Navy HMS Penelope I am trying to find details of my Father serving on HMS Penelope. He had pretty bad scars on his body caused him swimming in the water with burning fuel oil. It is my understanding that James Alfred Sams was a Chief PO or Chief Stoker. I am not sure whether he could be both. Unfortunately he died of a heart attack back in 1971, so I did not have too much of an opportunity to talk about his service days. He de-mobbed out of the Navy after seeing out the 50’s based in Malta. He then worked as a civil servant in Portsmouth dockyard in an accounts department until his untimely death. If anyone can remember him I would be obliged for any information.

Albert Sanders . My father, Albert Sanders, was in Stalag 9B. He never spoke about his time there but was angry at the fact that there was no support for him and others as they got older. I have a selection of photos of familly that were sent to him with the Stalag stamp on the back. He always wondered how such a bad place could be in such a nice area without anyone being alarmed.

Irene Sanderson . Land Army Irene joined the WLA in May 1943 two weeks after her 16th birthday. She was sent from Sheffield to March in Cambridgeshire. When she arrived she was sent to stay with a Mrs. Wellum (a very religious lady) before being moved to a hostel in the High St. which had once been a furniture shop.
She did general farm work; everything from taking the bull to the cows to harvesting turnips of which there was an awful lot. She ate a lot of beetroot sandwiches and learnt a lot about life. Despite a few health scares, Irene is well and happy and living with her husband, Arthur, in Sheffield.

Pte. George Alfred Scaife . British Army 4th Btn, B Company Green Howards from Guisborough) Like many lads from the North East of England Alf joined the territorial army in his home town of Guisborough. He was just 19yrs old when he signed up for military service in April 1939 and a after a brief spell of training left with the B.E.F to follow his brothers to France. He sent a letter to his sister on the eve of his departure which we have, in which he mentions that the king is coming to see the battalion before it leaves for battle.
He was injured at Dunkirk and taken capture by the Germans. He was sent to Stalag v111b and spent some time in Stalag v111a at Gorlitz.
We have many photos from V111A and postcards from v111b.
Like many of his P.O.W pals he didn't talk much about his experience of the war but we know he spent some time on the long march from the camp which took place at the end of the war.
He passed away in 2002 at 82yrs but was a keen member of the Green Howards Society up until his death.

Sergeant L V Schafer . RAF VR 59 Squadron from Rhodesia) |
Lt. Armin Newton Schaper DFC, CSC.. from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA.) My father, Armin Schaper, was a submarine bomber pilot during WWII, based for the longest time in Dunkeswell, England. His duties involved the first night searchlight missions, hunting down German submarines at night, in an effort to make them rise above water during the day, hence making it easier to shoot them.
He had quite a few good and close friends from that squadron, two of whom I have had the pleasure to get to know recently: C.J. Fitze and Virgil Dudey, two wonderful men. I also got to know, through emails, only, however, the wonderful John Weber. All were pilots and all stationed with my father in Dunkeswell.
My brother and I are traveling to Dunkeswell, thanks to CJ Fitze's information, to view where he was based during WWII and to see the little museum created in honor of these brave and humble men. We will be visiting on September 24th, 2009, on what would have been our father's 91st birthday. What an honor and what memories. Our father received two Distinguished Flying Cross medals for his WWII service, Eleven Air Medals and the Conspicuous Service Cross, for his service to our country. How proud we are of him and his memories remain forever embedded in my head and my heart. |
