Pte. William Facer
Royal Navy Royal Marines
from:Birmingham
My father joined the Royal Marines in 1938 just before the outbreak of the 2nd World War. Some of his service was aboard HMS Cumberland and he was based in Gibraltar when war with Germany was declared.
During the Battle for Crete he was captured and taken as a prisoner of war and was incarcerated in Stalag 17, from where he was eventually freed in 1945.
