William John Turrell
British Army 1st Battalion Royal East Kent Regiment
from:Bromley, Kent
My uncle Bill - William John Turrell was born in 1919, Bromley Kent. I have been told he was with the royal east kent regiment (the buffs). Sadly, my uncle passed away in 1983. He never really spoke of the war days, but I guess, knowing what I know now, I can see why he never spoke about things.
I have just been given a photo of my uncle. I believe the photo was taken in a prison of war camp in september 1944 at Molln, I believe that this was in Pupping Austria, camp number Stalag 398. His POW number was 155006.
My uncle Bill is the big man in the centre of the back row, I don't know who the other men are but it would be nice to find out.
