L/Cpl. John James Partridge Crapnell

British Army Suffolk Regiment

from:Ipswich, Suffolk

I have been told very little about my grandfather John Crapnell other than he was a POW. I discovered he was at a camp Stalag 4C Wistritz Bei Teplitz. My understanding is he took part in Operation Torch in 1942 before being captured. He then spent the rest of the war as a POW. I am told he had previous military experience but during WW2 he spent some time in 6 Commando.
