Thomas "Ran" Ransley-Lightfoot
British Army 2nd Btn. Grenadier Guards
from:Didcot
My great uncle, Thomas Ransley-Lightfoot (Ran), was interned in Stalag IXC. He was with the 2nd Btn Grenadier Guards and was captured in France in 1940.
There is a photo of him on this site. I think it must have been taken early on as he lost the tops of two fingers in the salt mines when he grabbed the chains of a railway cart that had broken loose. I believe he used to take part in the plays performed in the camp. Does anyone have more information about him - he never talked about his camp experiences.
