211354 Jack Webb British Army Royal Welch Fusiliers from:Beckford, Gloucestershire My Uncle Jack Webb was captured on Crete and spent the rest of the war as a prisoner of war. He eventually ended up in Stalag 3b. At the end of the war they would not let him home until he had put on weight as he was so painfully thin. I believe he was also part of the rear guard and was captured by a small pond when they were almost out of ammunition. They were also out of water and had resorted to drinking the water coolant from a knocked out machine gun. The pond had a dead donkey in it and several dead German Paratroops. If anyone has any other information about this I would be interested to hear it.
