L/Cpl. Charles Henry Huntley

British Army Royal Engineers

from:Southborough, Tunbridge Wells, Kent

I am currently researching my family history, and would really like more information regarding my grandfather, Charles Henry Huntley, and his time as a POW in WW2. Like many, he seldom talked about his WW2 experiences, but I do know that he was taken prisoner on Crete in 1941, and that he was then sent to Stalag 344, Lambinowice, Poland, as POW No. 16479.I believe that he worked in the salt mines and later on a farm. As a child, I remember being fascinated with his tattoos - particularly Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck, one on the top of each foot!- which he said had been done whilst a POW. He may have subsequently been moved to a POW camp near Munich, and did not return home until 1946.
