212747 Pte. Fredric Leonard Richardson British Army 8th Battalion Worcestershire Regiment from:Hucknall, Nottingham Fredric Leonard Richardson was taken prisoner while serving with the 8th Battalion Worcestershire, Regiment. He was part of the B.E.F. company forces outside Dunkirk on may 29th 1940. I have found out through a photo that he was in a POW camp Stalag V111B (camp 344). I don't know if he was in any other camps yet. I have also been informed he worked in forestry & Polish coalmines. He also was a keen football player. He was a POW from 29/may/1940 till 24/march/1945. He was also on the long march until released by the Americans. I have also been informed that he was known as Fritz in the camp because if you wanted anything he could get it. I have a photo of my Grandfather in the camp with another person called R D Brockenbrow, POW no 11090, army no 4128928 from Seacombe, Cheshire.
