Pfc. Thomas Skaggs . United States Army Coy E. 222nd Infantry Regiment from Louisville, KY Thomas Skaggs Jr was my father. He was captured on 25th of January 1945 in an action associated with the German Operation Nordwind and was held in Stalag IX-B, Bad Orb. This was a notoriously overcrowded and under-provided camp. The prisoners of war there were starving to death, being given only "grass soup" to eat.
The camp was liberated on 2nd April 1945 by a task force put together specifically for the mission of freeing the camp's prisoners. My father was within 24 hours of death when the camp was taken.
Tom Skaggs went on to flourish back in Louisville, Kentucky where he married Alice Kleier in 1949, became an electrician, and worked on sophisticated machinery in an automobile assembly plant until his retirement in 1984.

Pte. Joseph Charles Skeats . British Army 2nd Btn, D Coy Royal Northumberland Fusiliers from West Ham, London My dad, Joseph Skeats, enlisted for WW2 on 16th of May 1940 at East Ham Town Hall at the age of 25. He was allocated to the Essex Regiment and trained at Colchester and then posted to the 10th Middlesex in 1941 and the to the 2nd Battalion, Royal Northumberland Fusiliers on 7th of June 1943.
On 27th of June 1943 he embarked for North Africa and was there from June 1943 until September 1943, then in Italy from September 1943 to December 1944, then in Greece from December 1944 until December 1945.
He was transferred to the Army Reserve on 12th of May 1946.
I wasn't born until 1953, but I have just recently learnt that he suffered with what is now called PTSD. I don't ever remember my dad talking of the war, he just mentioned the countries that he had been in and how hot it was! But never, ever talked of any battles or fighting.
He sadly died in 1971.

Pte. Walter Thomas George Skeggs . British Army 2nd Btn. Dorsetshire Regiment from Rotherhithe I have found two records showing my father, Walter Skeggs, as missing in action and then as a casualty in June 1940, so possibly from the evacuation at Dunkirk.
I have also found notes saying that he was a commando and, I believe that this may have been 5 Commando as 5 Commando were formed in Bridlington, East Yorkshire around the time that the Dorsetshires were guarding the East Yorkshire coast prior to their deployment to India.

S/Sgt. William Noel Skellett . British Army Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers from Collyweston, Northamptonshire My grand-uncle Staff Sergeant William Skellett of the REME died in Hamburg on 19th March 1947 apparently after contracting a disease during the reconstruction of the city. He is buried in the British Army Cemetery there.
I know his service number, rank, service arm and have a few photos but that is all of the information I have. I would love to know Bill's story - the units he served with and where. I imagine that he would have been in the army for some years in order to achieve the rank of Staff Sergeant and there must be so much that I don't know.
If anyone remembers Bill or is able to suggest any sources for research into the REME during WW2 I would love to hear from you.
