Sgt. Stanley Eric Taft . Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve 144 Squadron from Birmingham (d.7th Sep 1941) Stanley Eric Taft was my uncle who, unfortunately, was a casualty in WW2. He was in 144 Squadron, Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve and he died on 7th September 1941 at the age of 20. He was a Wireless Operator at the time of his death. I understand the aircraft he was in (Hampden I) crashed shortly after take off at Empingham, RAF Woolfox Lodge in Rutland. The four man crew were all killed - other members of crew were, P/O R. J. Roake, Sgt. B. Hemmings and Sgt. E. Horton. The Bomber Command Losses state that the crash took place at 2055 on the Empingham to Ketton Road, Rutland which was NE of the airfield, some 4 miles WSW of Stamford, Lincolnshire. It appears they were on a bombing run to Berlin. The cause of the crash is unknown, but it I understand it could possibly have been due to overload and the construction of this particular aircraft. Records inform us that the Hampden was later dropped and other more reliable aircraft used for the rest of WW2.

WO2 Ernest "Pat" Tague . British Army Seaforth Highlanders from South Shields (d.22nd Sep 1944) My namesake Ernest Tague was killed at Nijmegn on the 22nd of Sept 1944, he was was eldest brother of my mother Jenny Tague. My uncle was a regular and also a sportsman winning cups in Hong Kong in 1937 for boxing and also was a good single skulls sportsman.
I remember him vividly on his last leave in 1944 when he came to see his mother and I remember how troubled he was at this time as he could not comfort his mother or say what he was doing. He was married to Margaret who lived in London and they had two children Marcus and Bee. I can imagine his feelings as when I packed my sea bags I had no idea when I would be back, difference then was we were in the toughest part of WW2. He died during operation Market Garden when going to the aid of I believe an American unit that was cut off, it would seem that he and a large number of his company, 7th Battalion, Seaforth Highlanders, were killed at Nijmegen and all eventually buried at the war cemetery in Mierlo which I visited a number of times when business took me to Europe, I think I was the only member of the family to ever visit the grave.
The telegram that arrived telling my grandmother of his death also killed her inside as she never was the same person again.

Henri Tajfel . French Army Henri Tajfel volunteered for the French army in 1940 (we think). He was a Polish Jew, living in Paris at the time (known then as Hersz Tajfel). He later became a famous social psychologist whose biography I am writing.
In this picture, taken at Stalag XVIIIC, Markt Pongau, Austria, he is second from the right, next to the man in the white shirt. He was also imprisoned in Stalag VIIIA
I would love to hear from any relatives of other prisoners from Stalag XVIIIC, whether French or other nationality, who might have known Henri or who have diaries or other accounts of camp life.
