L/Cpl. Allen Tidy

British Army Queen's Own Royal West Kent Regiment

from:Sittingbourne, Kent, U.K.

Allen Tidy was my uncle (my mother's brother). During World War II he was a Lance Corporal in the Queen's Own Royal West Kent Regiment. He, like many others, never talked about his horrific experiences during his internment. I have, through the Ancestry site, discovered documentation showing that he was a prisoner of war in Camp Stalag XXB at Malbork, Poland in 1942. His P.O.W. # 1085.

I am led to believe that he was captured at Dunkirk and was marched to Poland. On his release he was severely emaciated. He died in 1995. If anyone has photos of soldiers in his regiment who were interned at Malbork, I would love to see them.
