Rfmn. William John "Hammy" Hamilton
British Army Kings Royal Rifle Corps
from:London
My father, William John Hamilton, was in the King's Royal Rifles. He joined up, I think, in 1937. He went to Tel Aviv, Palestine etc. He was captured when arriving in France being one of the first batch over and ended up in a POW camp. I think near Poland he escaped to Czechoslovakia and went with the partisans but was recaptured and served the rest of the time in the POW camp until liberation.
Can anyone tell me where the POW camp was? All I know is the no 5.
