216041 Sydney Clare British Army from:Hull My grandfather was called Sydney Clare, from Hull. He was captured at Dunkirk and then spent the rest of the war in a POW camp in Poland. I am not sure which one. His youngest daughter was named Valerie as she was born after he was captured - I think it may have been the name of where he was captured but could be wrong. He was possibly in the Royal Armoured Corps.
I know that he too was forced marched to Germany towards the end of the war. He did not talk about it much so I have such sketchy information. I only remember him saying that he saw 'Jews walking past the fence' (although I was very young when he said this and may have misunderstood). Where any of the POW camps near to concentration camps? The only other thing my late father told me was that Sydney was ashamed of having to 'work for the Germans' growing food. I know so little about him and now it is too late as he died several years ago.
