234381 L/Cpl. Reginald Hermon British Army Oxfordshire and Bucks Light Infantry from:Rotherfield Peppard, Oxfordshire My grandfather, Reginald Hermon, was conscripted into the Oxfordshire and Bucks Light Infantry, the exact date is unknown. We know the unit travelled to France in January 1940, in May 1940 he was captured at Dunkirk. Photos sent home to my grandmother have the stamp of Stalag XXB on the reverse. Although he didn't speak much of his time in the POW camp we know he was involved with farming local land and many local women smuggled chocolate to them under their skirts. My grandfather died in September 1999, having not really spoken of his time in the POW camp to many people.
