Frederick Leonard Richardson
British Army 8th Battalion Worcestershire Regiment
My father, Frederick Leonard Richardson was taken prisoner while serving with the 8th Battalion Worcestershire Regiment BEF forces outside Dunkirk on May 29th 1940. Stalag 8b was one of the camps my father was in I think he was moved to others. He worked in forestry and Polish coalmines. He was a keen footballer and played for some teams. He was a POW from May 29th 1940 till April 24th 1945 and was on the long march until released by the Americans.
