Pilot Rodney Shand "Puggy" Goreham
Royal Canadian Air Force
from:Nova Scotia
My great uncle Rodney Gorham was a pilot in the war with the RCAF. When his plane was shot down by the Germans he was the only survivor. Badly burned, he hid for days from the Germans before he was captured. He spent five months in their hospital before he was sent to a concentration camp at Stalag 1. That camp was liberated by the Russians who ran a herd of cattle into the camp on their way through to ensure the prisoners had food before their people came for them.
