Pte. Gilbert Pickering

British Army Royal Warwickshire Regiment

from:Birmingham

My grandad, Gilbert Pickering, born 1914 in the Midlands was in Stalag 8b. During the early 80s he told me many stories of escapes, his mate being bayoneted beside him while hiding in a ditch at the side of the road while on the run, going out on work parties etc.

He was a wonderful man who died from lung cancer in 1986. We, his family, miss him every day and would love to hear if anyone has info about him
