229939 Sgnlmn. Jeffrey James Ashley British Army Royal Corps of Signals I have an interest in Signalman 2310800 Jeffrey James Ashley, Royal Corps of Signals who was taken prisoner of war on 5th June 1940 and released on 26th April 1945. His POW number was 2505 (quite a low number) and he was held at camp Stalag 383 at Hohen Fels. Born in 1901 he would have been 39 years of age when captured. He joined the Signals in 1920 spending some years in India, leaving in 1927 and being recalled in 1939. A posting regarding 51st Highland Division prompted me to post this as the dates of capture coincide. Any information regarding the above named or about the camp would be appreciated. I am not a relation.
