My grandfather Corporal Percy "Pat" Preston from the 2nd Battalion Norfolk Regiment, was captured at Dunkirk and taken to the POW camp Stalag 8B.
The photograph was taken around 1940 when he was first captured (at Dunkirk) and taken to Stalag 8B in Lamsdorf.
Percy survived the camps and was repatriated back to the United Kingdom in 1943.
He passed away in 1966 in Kelling Army Hospital in Norfolk. He lived all his life in Bungay, Suffolk, married in 1945 and had four children.
