206254 Cpl. Aldwyn Mitchell British Army 2nd Battalion Northamptonshire Regt. from:Northern Ireland Aldwyn Mitchell was my Wife's Father. To the best of our knowledge Aldwyn was taken prisoner in France during the rea guard action at Dunkirk. Aldwyn never mentioned his time as a POW, He would not have anything detrimental said about the Germans, he spoke excellent German and French. Talents he made very good use of when he visited our family in West Germany 1954, when I was then stationed in 4th Guards Brigade. Alwyn Mitchell sadly passed way December 1965 at the age of 56yrs. according to the death certificate: Inhalation of vomit from haemorrhage from gastric erosiona. POW number 12652. Camp number 357. We consider it possible he was in XXB, taking part in the march there in 1940, also the return march 1945, as he was released outside Follingbostel 'Oerrbke'? We hope some one may pick this information up.
