259675 Spr. Tudor Llewellyn John Royal Engineers 505th Field Company from:Maesteg, Wales Tudor John was my father. Some of his military records had an s added to his surname, but correct is without.
Dad passed away in 1992 at the age of 73. He was in the Battle of Crete and captured by the Germans there. He was subsequently a POW for the rest of the war. He met my mother in Germany (she is German) during his captivity. She helped him escape from the POW camp, but he was later re-arrested and again imprisoned until the end of the war. He was in Stalag IIID, then Hohnstein, then Dresden. My parents both lived through that awful night of Feb 14th, 1945 when the Brits firebombed the city.
