227141 Leonard Mugridge British Army Devonshire Rgt. My father, Leonard Mugridge, was with the Deveonshire Regiment (I think and airborne regiment). He was captured and sent to Stalag XIB, which had a great impact on him. He told me that the German were not terrible there, although one stole his belongings. He also said that the Russians were very badly treated. I have a few knives and forks he smuggled out of the German officers mess. I would be interested to hear from anyone who knew him.
