230108 Sidney Gordon Bateman British Army Layforce Commandos My late father-in-law, Sidney Gordon Bateman, was captured, as a member of the Layforce Commandos, at the fall of Crete. He owned a book stamped with 'Gepruft 20 Stalag IVC' - which I understand was at Wistritz, in Czechoslovakia - but my husband believes that his father was a prisoner-of-war in Germany itself. I would be grateful if anyone who knew Sidney Bateman and has any relevant information about his life during the war would let us know, as we would be very interested.
