228107 Harry Bennett British Army Parachute Regiment I am looking for information on my great uncle 'Harry' Bennett. He was a member of the British airbourne division but I don't know which regiment, I believe 2 Para made it to Arnhem bridge so I'm guessing he was with 1 or 3 Para. I believe he was captured during the landings, and taken to one of the Stalags. Is there anywhere that list POWs of the Arnhem landing, a roll call from the Stalag, or a roster of the Paras who jumped that day?
Update
Possibilities for "Harry" Bennett could be: 4B (camp Muhlberg [Elbe]) 266771 (POW number) Bennett H. Pte 1683432 A.A.C. (Army Air Corps) also 12A (camp Limburg s.d. Lahn) no POW number Bennett GH Cpl 4127537 A.A.C. They are only possibilities on the details that you have supplied. Taken from POWs British Army 1939-1945. I have no further information but can say that there were no Parachute Regiment personnel mentioned with the surname Bennett. (Stuart Brown)
