Terence "Lofty" Whitney
Royal Navy
from:Birmingham
My uncle, Terence Whitney, passed peacefully away in May 2006. Captured (wounded) at Dieppe (a naval gunner), Terry was held in Lamsdorf, leaving when the German guards evacuated as the Russians closed in.
Terry (aka Lofty) was particularly friendly with one or two of the New Zealanders held there, whilst his best pal was fellow brummie, Bertie Ruffles.
If anyone remembers Terry, please pass this information on. I would also be grateful for any specific recollections of Terry. Thank you.
