263991 Pte. Colin Ewing British Army 1/5th Btn. Sherwood Foresters Colin Ewing was PoW No 15110 from August 1940 to June 1945. He was seriously affected by the trauma for the rest of his life, which made family life and life in general difficult for him and everyone at home.
Colin would never talk about his experiences, making it hard for others to comprehend why he was affected so severely.
As a very young man he had to go through this alone and unfortunately never received any help or support that we know of following his time in service.
Unfortunately this experience caused Colin to be quite distant and isolated with nightmares to deal with throughout reminding him of the horrors of war.
He did enjoy his Grandchildren's visits later in life, always feeding them as much chocolate as he could while visiting.
We are only now beginning to research and understand all of this.
Lovingly remembered by his daughter Margaret Elaine.
