Pte. Henry Alderson
British Army 8th Btn. Durham Light Infantry
from:Sacriston
Henry Alderson was my grandfather. He wouldn't talk about the war but he was a prisoner of war in Germany and I have an album of postcards of all his friends from different countries in their uniforms. He escaped from the camp with some others but they were re captured. He survived though and was a lovely man. He passed away in 1976. He was born in 1898 so was very young to go to war.
