209463 Pfc. James F. Colley United States Army 3rd Battalion, HQ Coy. 508th Parachute Infantry Regiment from:West Virginia, USA. James Colley joined the 82nd because they promised free cigarettes. He was in the 508th Parachute Infantry Regiment, HQ Coy, 3rd Battalion. He jumped on D-Day and was captured shortly after and sent to Stalag 4B. He was there until he and some buddies decided to make a break when there would be few guards per prisoner. They eventually came home after the war was over. There are several things I don't understand. Like how he got his Purple Heart and when exactly he was captured. If anyone has any information on him or knew somebody that may know him, you can contact me directly.
