Cpl. John Edward Malley

British Army Royal Irish Fusiliers

from:Bray, Co Wicklow

My father, John Edward, joined the Royal Irish Fusiliers in, I think, 1938. He served in Palestine, Malta and the Dodecanese Islands. He was taken prisoner and sent to a POW camp in Europe. He told me he ended up in a camp in Poland and was marched west during the winter of 1944-45. Alot of prisoners died on this March.

I wish I had more information and had listened or asked more about this time. I remember a photo in my grandfather's house of my father standing with a bespectacled sergeant. I have his campaign medals and am very proud of his service. Just wish I knew more details.

He died in Nov 1980
