Thomas William Willis

I discovered the POW camps my grandfather, Thomas William Willis, was held in , he was captured on 31st October 1917. His first camp was Limberg, 2nd was Dulmen and finally he was freed from Dyrotz. He never spoke with us grandchildren of his time in prison. He did relate to his wife that he and some others were singing in a ternch and a German soldier thought he was being mocked. He slammed his rifle butt into my grandfather's face and broke his nose.
I take good care of his dog tags, war medals, Saint John Bible he was given in Limberg and War Pay Book. R.I.P.
