230236 Pte. T. Brooker British Army 2nd Btn. Ox and Bucks Light Infantry Operation Varsity was the airborne crossing of the Rhine in March 1945. My late father, Pte T Brooker, 5110129, 2nd Btn Ox and Bucks Light Infantry, 6th Airbourne Division, became a POW in Stalag XIb from 25th March to 27th April 1945.
I have small notebook given to him by the Germans and in it there are names of pals in the POW camp and also Army pals. Does anyone know any of the names below?
Stalag pals
C. Moss - Henley on Thames
R.W. Gant - Reading
W.I. Ireland - Darwen, Lancs
J. Woodward - Handsworth, Birmingham, Warwickshire

Army pals

I am building a website of my family tree and would like to put as much as I can about my father and his pals. Also where he and his pals were serving from 1939 to 1946 and any stories about the POW camp.
