Cecil Walter Colthorpe British Army Royal Army Service Corps from:Ipswich, Suffolk Our father, Cecil Colthorpe served in the British Army during the Second World War and we are trying to piece together his wartime activities. He passed in 1986 and did not talk about his war experiences very much. He served in the Middle East and somehow ended up in Stalag 357. POW No. 50193 He talked of riding his Royal Enfield motorbike in the desert and his escape from Stalag 357 while moving a piano with other prisoners and that part of the escape out of Germany involved a fire engine which was "borrowed" from a country barn.
